Mike Stachura has been on the staff of Golf Digest since 1992, or before there was an Internet. His primary responsibilities center on equipment, golf technology and the business of golf. He also occasionally spends an inordinate amount of time researching a big-data prediction of the winner of each of the year’s major championships. It never comes close to coming true.
