Chapter 9 Morning clipping volume during tournament week at KBC Augusta

The KBC Augusta tournament is coming up next week15 at Keya Golf Club in Fukuoka. The volume of grass clippings cut from the greens is measured every morning.

I think it is interesting to look at the density16 of the measurements. This ridgeline plot17 provides a quick summary of clipping volume during the 2016 tournament.

The joyplot above uses the same data as this chart I made last year.
