GOSJ

The Golf Operations & Systems Journal is a long-form research publication examining how golf functions as an operating system.

It analyzes the structural forces that influence performance at scale - course design, scheduling models, agronomic strategy, competitive format, pace governance, and organizational decision-making.

Where commentary often centers on individual execution, the Journal focuses on structure.

Each piece isolates variables, evaluates causal mechanisms, and traces how design decisions produce behavioral outcomes. A routing decision affects fatigue distribution. Tee-time intervals influence pacing volatility. Incentive structures shape competitive risk tolerance.

These are not background conditions.
They are operating variables.

Articles are developed with deliberate scope and analytical rigor. Claims are supported through case analysis, comparative modeling, and longitudinal observation. The objective is to identify repeatable patterns - not singular anecdotes.

The Journal does not speculate.
It studies systems.

Its purpose is to clarify how structural design governs performance outcomes and how those structures can be intentionally shaped.
