Who’s the best?

Who’s the best golfer in the world? Not such a difficult question. You probably only have to choose between a handful of golfers – Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Phil Mickelson. And, on current form, it’s probably got to be Woods. You would have a hard job arguing the case for anyone else.

Who are the ten best golfers in the world? That’s a bit harder. And, the top 50 golfers in the world? Now it’s starting to get really tricky.

If presented with this question, the temptation would be to turn to the Official World Golf Rankings or perhaps the money lists of the European and US Tours. This would obviously give you a fair indication of who are the best golfers in the world, but how reliable are these rankings? Are they really the best way to assess the merits of each golfer? And, if as you discover below, these methods have some fundamental flaws, are there better ways to rate each golfer’s abilities?

Official World Golf Rankings

The sports media tend to place great emphasis on the Official World Golf Rankings. In 2004, as Vijay Singh took over the number one spot from Tiger Woods, the sports pages of the world’s newspapers devoted many column inches to the story. But did it really mean anything? If you look at how the World Rankings are compiled, you might just decide that it was a silly story that, quite frankly, didn’t mean very much.

The World Rankings are compiled using a well-meaning, but ultimately unscientific formula. Points are awarded to players according to the players’ finishing position in each professional tournament. The points awarded are generally related to the strength of the field in the tournament. The four majors and the US Tour’s Players Championship receive special status because of the strength of competition, and they carry significantly more points. Each players’ points are accumulated over a two year rolling period with the points awarded in the past 13 week period doubled. Ranking points decline in eight equal quarter year intervals and after 2 years the points are eliminated altogether.

As World Rankings are based on finishing position, they take absolutely no account of score differentials. So, if a player wins a major six shots clear of the next best player, he will receive exactly the same number of points as if he had only prevailed by a solitary shot. Yet surely, securing victory in a major by a six shot margin should be rated much higher.

Another quirk of the World Rankings is the fact that they assume a minimum of 40 tournaments played in a two-year period. Players who have not participated in 40 tournaments will nevertheless have their points score divided by 40. Although this is understandable in that it prevents players shooting up the rankings by virtue of playing well in a small number of tournaments, it does under-rate players who have been injured or players who choose to play a small number of tournaments. In the unlikely event that a player only played the four majors, but won them all by an average of 5 shots each, the player would retain a lowly ranking as his points total would still be divided by 40. Yet surely he would have to be the best golfer in the world! Although this is an extreme and highly unlikely scenario, it nonetheless demonstrates the peculiarities of the World Rankings system.

Money Lists

The media also made a great fuss of Vijay Singh when he won the 2004 Money List in the US, and cleared $10million in prize money for the season, the first time this have ever been achieved. This was undoubtedly a fine achievement and warranted the plaudits that Vijay received for such a superb season. However, did it make Vijay ten times better than Jeff Sluman who won just $1m in prize money in 2004? And how can we translate this superiority into the number of shots per round?

The manner in which prize money is allocated in each tournament is not proportionate to the number of shots taken to complete the four rounds of golf. For each place up the leader board, a golfer receives an incrementally larger amount of prize money. Thus, the differential between players finishing 60th and 50th, will be much less than between those finishing 1st and 10th. The ability to hold one’s game together under pressure is undoubtedly a characteristic that differentiates an average player from a great player, but surely we place too much store on this if we base our opinion on how much money a player has won?

By way of an example, take Craig Parry’s victory in the Australian Open at Royal Melborune Golf Club in January 2005. After 72 holes he finished joint leader with Nich O’Hern. Four days play and the pair could not be separated. A play off followed, and Craig Parry eventually triumphed after another four holes. His reward was prize money of Eur225,367, whereas Nick O’Hern walked away with Eur127,708. Twice as good for holding one’s nerve? Probably not. Surely the 72 holes of golf was a better guide to the respective merits of each golfer.

Nerve versus consistency

Both World Rankings and Money Lists tend to place greater emphasis on big event performances. They also tend to overrate those finishing in the top few places of a tournament, particular the majors. Arguably, this helps to identify those players with the greatest nerve and the ability to handle the big occasion. Identifying such players is always going to be helpful in picking likely tournament winners, especially the big ones.

However, this does not fairly reflect the ‘day-to-day’ playing merits of each player. The modern golf professional plays week in week out in regular tournaments, where the key to making a steady living is consistent scoring. To the punter, consistent performance week in week out is equally important. In three ball betting, it’s especially important to have such players on your side. You want the best golfer on your side, not necessarily the best one-tournament wonder.

Stroke Averages and Scoring Average

All the major tours calculate stroke averages and scoring averages for players and these statistics do provide a better measure of performance relative to other golfers. However, they both have their flaws, especially the stroke average.

The stroke average is simply defined as the average number of strokes taken per round. The big problem here is that the average takes no account of each course’s difficulty and has less value when comparing scores between players who have competed in different tournaments. Therefore, the stroke averages does not take account of the strength of field or the difficulty of the courses played. A player shooting five under par over 72 holes in the Russian Open at Le Meridien Moscow Country Club would apparently rate better than a player shooting four under par over 72 holes in the US Masters at Augusta. Any pundit worth their salt knows that this is not the case, as the Augusta National is a far tougher course. Stroke averages are only relevant when comparing performances on the same schedule of courses.

Scoring averages provide a better guide to a golfer’s ability than stroke averages. The scoring average is a weighted average that takes the stroke average of the field into account. It is computed by adding a player’s total strokes to an adjustment, and dividing by the total rounds played. The adjustment is computed by determining the stroke average of the field for each round played. This average is subtracted from par to create an adjustment for each round. The net result is generally pretty good in that you find the players that you would expect to see at the top of the ratings.

The scoring average is not perfect though. The main problem with the scoring average is that it fails to take account of the strength of the field. Within the professional ranks, most players are of a very high standard. Yet, there is still a very discernible difference between the journeymen tour golfers and the likes of Tiger Woods. Some tournaments, such as the majors, attract top quality fields, whereas other tournaments attract mediocre fields. The scoring average does not take account of this. It assumes that all tournaments attract fields of the same quality. The better golfers play in the better tournaments against better competitors, yet they receive no beneficial adjustments to their scoring averages. The net effect of this is that the scoring average tends to narrow the differential between the best and worst golfers.

So where does that leave us? Is it possible to take account of the strength of the competition?

Fully adjusted scoring average

Well, the answer is yes. For those betting on golf, it really pays to look at a ‘fully adjusted scoring average’. It sounds a bit of a mouthful, but essentially it means ratings based on actual scores, adjusted for the difficulty of the course and the relative strength of the other competitors in the tournament. The system used is very similar to the way in which handicappers rate performances in horse racing. Indeed, this handicapping type of system is probably even more relevant to golf than it is to horseracing, since the size of field in a tournament is so much larger. With over 150 players competing in most tournaments, it becomes a statistically reliable exercise to assess the relative strength of the field and work out the best fitting ratings to the result.

The ratings presented on www.progolfform.com are fully adjusted scoring average ratings. They work by calculating an 18 hole scoring average for the tournament and then adjust them for the relative strength of the field and for the course conditions. For example, in the 2005 US Masters at Augusta, Tiger Woods had a stroke average of 69 for his four rounds. An adjustment was then made to this rating of -3.50, reflecting the relative strength of the field and the difficulty of the course. The adjusted rating of Tiger Woods was therefore 65.50. The same adjustment is applied to all scoring averages of the players competing the same four rounds in the tournament.

The system throws up results largely as we would expect them. Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Ernie Els all figure as the top players under this system. They all consistently record low ratings. The ratings don’t, however, overestimate one off performances, as a one-off low rating can be set in the context of a string of otherwise weaker performance ratings. Furthermore, a wide margin winner will be given due prominence and a small margin victory won’t be over-rated.

For the bread and butter, mid-ranked golf professional, differentiated ratings undoubtedly offer the best guide to their relative merits. They offer the serious punter with a reliable performance guide. The predicted score of players can be compared with others, and direct and quantifiable comparisons can be made.

The ratings also facilitate direct comparisons between golfers playing on different tours. In the modern game, there are enough golfers playing on both the US and European Tours to help tie in the form on either side of the Atlantic. Therefore, reliable comparisons can be made between the level of form shown by a golfer playing on the European Tour and a golfer playing on the US Tour.

But if only it were that easy

Other factors are, of course, still at play in assessing the chances of a golfer in a particular tournament. For example, a player may be out of form. Certain courses and playing conditions will suit certain golfers. Similarly, the fitness and mental well being of a golfer will affect his immediate performance. And then there’s luck!

Summary

Multiple factors are at work when a player enters a golf tournament, and it is extremely tough work trying to assess their chances. Nonetheless, ratings provide a good starting point for making judgements of likely performance. The fully adjusted scoring average provides by far the best starting point available, better than world rankings, money lists, stroke averages and even scoring averages.

Most amateur golfers don’t give enough attention to performing regular golf stretches both on and off the course. Range of motion of the trunk and upper extremities are key to a successful golf swing. Decreased flexibility predisposes us to injury and reduced performance. Fortunately, there are stretches designed to keep the muscles used in golf lengthened and flexible. A major component of achieving an acceptable level of flexibility is to perform these stretches on a regular basis.

A proper warm-up with stretches increases body temperature, which leads to an increase in flexibility and the intensity of muscular contractions. Another physiological response to warming up is increased oxygen delivery to the muscles being utilized. In other words, your muscles are free to lengthen and ready to play.

Flexibility is one of the most important components of the golf swing. Whenever muscles are tight, your body responds in restricted movement. Optimal flexibility becomes the key to freedom of movement in the swing. Enhancing your joint flexibility has the potential to lengthen your golf swing and create greater club head speed. A golfer’s focus should always be on restoring normal range of motion to their joints before progressing onto more advanced strength exercises.

Just as for other golf exercises, the stretching exercises you perform should be based upon your individual strengths and weaknesses. Areas that are more tight and less flexible should be your area of concentration. By using specific stretches for those areas where you are most restricted, you’ll likely see the greatest change in swing mechanics.

While increased strength can be beneficial, flexibility is a necessity for good golf. Golfers commonly have problems in the areas of the hips, back, shoulders and wrists. The repetitive motion of the golf swing places much use on these areas. Therefore, you should be sure to incorporate stretches with particular attention to these areas as part of your regular routine.

By all indicators, obesity has become an American epidemic. Many factors have led to increased waistlines (and their accompanying health problems) in the United States. Sedentary lifestyles, fast food culture, and less physical activity for children have all contributed to a heavier, less healthy America. As budgets are slashed during these difficult economic times, physical education programs have felt the pinch with reduced programs.

But at the Ross School in New York, educators agree that a healthy body is crucial to developing a healthy, curious mind. Students are not just expected to only hit the books and embrace scholarly pursuits. At the Ross School, students face challenges to inspire them to achieve past their perceived physical limits.

Ross School students must participate in at least one team sport throughout their time there. The students have a wide range of choices for sports, including basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, and lacrosse. Ross School teams have enjoyed a measured of success, producing champion tennis, soccer, and basketball teams.

As students become proficient in their chosen sport, they learn essential physical skills such as locomotive skills, coordination, aerobic conditioning, ball skills, team strategies, personal goal-setting, and nutrition. Through a variety of activities, students can improve their speed, stamina, agility, strength, and flexibility. As their bodies grow healthier and stronger, Ross School students are more likely to avoid health problems associated with obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

But most importantly, the Ross School uses team sports to build not only a student’s body, but the student’s mind as well. Ross School coaches teach citizenship, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and positive self-esteem along with tennis strokes, dribbling, and proper defense. The fourth stated goal of the Ross School’s physical education program is “To provide an athletic program that will promote physical well being and positive attitudes in leadership and sportsmanship for both the participants and the spectators.” The Ross School strives not only to produce physically fit students, but responsible, confident, and team-oriented citizens as well.

We would all like to have a fluid, beautiful swing like Adam Scott, power off the tee like Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, and the ability to repeat that swing round after round, day after day.

But what is holding back most amateurs from that silky smooth and powerful swing?

Most likely, it’s your hamstrings and your low back.

We are going to explore the connection between your hammies, your low back and that less than PGA pro, Golf Magazine type golf swing.

Let’s start with your hamstrings. Most of us think we know where our hamstrings are located and what they do, but do we really? We’re always hearing about baseball players, football players and basketball players coming down with hamstring injuries. It’s a common problem in a lot of sports, including golf.

What are they and what do they do?

The hamstrings are a group of muscles located on the back part of your upper leg. The hamstring group consists of three individual muscles: the semimembrinosus, semitendinosus, and the biceps femoris. To make it easier on my typing and to your eyes we’ll just keep it simple and call them your hamstrings. The function of the hamstrings in your body is pretty complex.

I’ll try to simplify it for you. First off, your hamstrings bend your knee. Also, your hamstrings help stabilize your hip area. So when you are performing almost any activity the hamstrings are essentially helping to hold your hips in place. They are great stabilizers. So the next time you are on the dance floor trying to do your best impression of Fred Astaire or John Travolta, think about how hard those hammies are working!

In addition to bending the knee and stabilizing the hips, your hamstrings help with your rotation of your leg internally and externally. Let’s try something. Right now, stand up and turn your foot inward (pigeon toed) and then rotate your foot out (duck toed). These two foot/leg movements use the hamstrings to make the inward and outward movements happen. This is certainly not a complete list, but it should give you insight to how involved the hamstrings are when it comes to the human body.

What about my aching low back!

I think we all know where the low back is located, especially if you are a golfer. If you experience low back issues like half of the golfers in the world, you intimately know where the low back is and how it affects your daily life.

The low back is essentially a group of small muscles. All these little muscles together comprise the lower back region of the body. The lower back muscles have a lot of functions. To start off, the lower back muscles help stabilize your spine at all times, especially during movement. In addition, the lower back muscles are used extensively to rotate the torso and to bend your hips forward/backward. Keep in mind that the lower back muscles of your body are probably active and functioning 99% of the time. They are worked a ton! Every day. When’s the last time you pulled weeds in the backyard for hours? How did your low back and hammies feel the next day?

Alright now, what about that choppy swing my golf buddies give me a hard time about?

Now, onto the golf swing. The golf swing is essentially a total body movement that requires the body to move through multiple planes of motion. The body has to stabilize your moving body, accelerate aggressively on the downswing, rotate quickly, and decelerate in a very short order during the golf swing. This causes enormous stress on the body and results in fatigue all over. For some of us that fatigue sets in on the range, and for others it’s after a weekend of 72 holes and a few hands of poker with the guys. For the PGA Tour pros, hopefully it’s after walking up the 18th on Sunday in front of TV cameras and thousands of spectators.

The connection is that hamstrings and the low back are working extremely hard during the golf swing, and quite often either one or the other (low back or hamstrings or even both) gets “tight.” The tightness we talk about is something most all of you have felt at one time or another. And I think it would be safe to say that in addition to feeling these muscles getting tight you know what effect it has on your game.

So, knowing that these two body parts are connected to the swing, now what?

Here’s why the Golf Channel is not going to be calling you anytime soon to exclaim about your beautiful swing….until you fix a few things.

Both the low back and hamstrings become “tight” from swinging a club. When you are actively using both of these muscle groups in the golf swing, these muscles get “tired”. What do I mean when I say “tired?” Exactly that! They get tired, meaning the muscles get fatigued. They have no more gas left in the tank. And when muscles get fatigued they don’t function properly or efficiently, and they shorten and become restricted. This is essentially the body’s way of telling you that your muscles are tired and they need a rest. It is also a “defense mechanism” of sorts by the body to prevent injury. If you continue to “work” muscles that are tired they will eventually become injured. So when you are performing the golf swing for an extended amount of time, say, for instance, 18 holes or a long practice session, your low back and hamstrings are going to get tired. If they get tired enough, they will become “tight.” And that is the point where these muscles start to affect your swing. Your swing looks stiff and choppy.

So it’s the fatigue that really makes my swing look stiff?

The golf swing requires your body to move through a pretty complex range of motion. This range of motion is essentially the back swing to the follow through. This large range of motion allows the golfer to swing the club on the correct path, create club head speed, and swing the club with the correct timing. Ultimately, it provides the golfer with the correct golf swing. In order for all these movements to occur in the right sequence, all the muscles of the body must be “loose” and have their normal ranges of motion available to them. It’s like someone taking most of your clubs away before a match. No putter. No driver (probably a benefit for most golfers). No wedges. You are probably not going to score as well without all your critical clubs available to you.

Without your hammies and your low back working with a full tank of gas, you’ve got your stiff and choppy golf swing. This results in reduced club head speed and less likelihood of swinging the club on the correct swing plane or with the correct timing. Amazing when you think how these two muscles groups that are associated to the golf swing can hinder your performance if they are “tight.”

So that’s why I haven’t gotten much better after all those lessons!

We all need a coach or a trainer. Phil Mickelson certainly has a swing coach, a short game coach, and I help him with his physical training.

What I’m saying is that without training your body to match your swing, your improvement in your swing will be limited by the strength, flexibility and endurance of your hamstrings and low back area.

I would suggest the implementation of a golf-specific training program that assists in getting the body ready to swing a golf club. This type of program focuses on developing the proper ranges of motion in these muscle groups for the golf swing. This type of program assists in developing the needed strength, endurance, and power required of the golf swing. In addition, a program like this can assist in the prevention of injuries to the lower back and other parts of the body. Finding a quality, golf-specific, PGA Tour-proven program can be difficult.

That’s where we come in. Our programs have helped golfers from amateurs to a Masters Champion. They are available to you at www.bioforcegolf.com. Programs at our site are geared towards developing your body around the golf swing. They essentially are swing tools working on the piece of machinery that swings that 450 cc driver you just bought! The programs are “tour proven” and work for both the professional and the amateur. They do not take long to perform (15 minutes a day). And I think it is safe to say anyone serious about their golf game will spend fifteen minutes a day with a program that could lower their handicap by 30%. Don’t you think? Thirty percent!

As we progress, the products we use evolve. This is true for everything in this world including Internet. But do the older offerings lose their value? Or at times they may be even better than the latest? Something like this may be happening with the wallpapers offered on the net. Earlier the wallpapers were only static designs. But as I said before one must progress. To progress, technology must offer something new. In the field of wallpapers, it is the flash type that are now the latest.

Are flash wallpapers better than the static ones? In looks, many times certainly yes. But as far as ease of downloading, installation and usability on the screen are concerned, static may still score over their modern brothers. Coming to the looks of static wallpapers that is considered a drawback, let me introduce you to the static wallpapers offered by this website.

This site is offering 75 wallpapers spread over five thumbnail pages. Please view at them here. This is page no.3. Now take a look at some of the wallpapers being offered and decide if they are good looking or not? Hearts Meet On Valentine’s , Love Is Exciting , Heart Of Life , Day Of Passion , Those who love , Valentine’s Day Scenery , Romantic Life , and Love is Bliss . Now, how do you find these designs?

They look reasonably good. The colors are used to match the theme of love. The scenes create a romantic ambiance. The text written is passionate. They are easy to use. No problems of right clicks. No CPU usage. Easy downloads and easy to uninstall. Can anyone ask for a better deal? Who said that the days of static wallpapers are over. Sometimes, old always remains young. Isn’t it?

Internet marketing is a different ball game altogether when compared to traditional marketing. A brick and mortar store employs salespersons to guide and advise its customers. No such equivalent of a salesperson exists for an online store. This could be one of the reasons why people shy away from online stores.

Given these circumstances, it is of vital importance that your web store should be as interactive as possible. An interactive website makes your visitors feel more comfortable and increases your chances of making a sale. A well designed website is the first step to make your visitor comfortable. Enough has already been said about not choosing flashy colours or having excessive graphics. I will now elaborate on the importance of having a feedback form in your website.

Every site will invariably contain a “Contact Us” section. Information usually present in this section includes the business name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone numbers etc. But what is missing in many websites is a feedback form. Consider a scenario where your visitor has a query and wishes to contact you. If you don’t have a feedback form, your visitor will most likely choose to e-mail you. There are numerous intervening steps that your visitor has to perform before he can e-mail. Such steps like opening his/her e-mail program, logging in etc. are distractions and your visitor’s attention is easily diminished. Moreover if your potential client is on a public computer he/she may not have access to his/her e-mail and it is extremely unlikely that he will remember and contact you once he/she gets back to his/her computer.

All this can be avoided by having a simple feedback form in the “Contact Us” section of your website. Your visitor won’t even be leaving your site when he/she fills up your form. The very nature of forms makes it easy for you to collect information from your visitor. For example, if your visitor requires more information about a particular product that you are selling, he/she can choose it from a drop-down box listing all your products and then type his/her query. Consider the alternative: if you didn’t have a feedback form in your website, your visitor would have to type your product name in the e-mail and then type the query – more pain to your user.

The very fact that feedback forms have so many advantages may lead you to believe that they are very hard to implement. You would be surprised to know that they are one of the simplest things to have. Forms consist of very simple HTML and there are numerous tutorials available on the web for creating them. You also need a program/script to process the form and a simple query in your favourite search engine would find many such scripts. A simpler method would be to sign up for a remotely hosted form processing service so that all your form processing needs can be outsourced. You will find that the entire process takes about 10-15 minutes or lesser and you can have a feedback form up and running!

Now that I have shown you that it is so simple to have a feedback form and there are numerous advantages associated with it, there is no reason for you not to have one!

Most golfers are aware that by focusing on the golf swing fundamentals, one by one, they stand the best chance of dramatically improving their game. This is because the golf swing fundamentals make up the golf swing which is at the heart of the game of golf.

Golf swing fundamentals are to be found in the three segments of a proper golf swing which are the backswing, the downswing and thirdly the impact and follow through.

The backswing is one of the important golf swing fundamentals because every shot begins here. If the backswing falls short, so will the resulting hit. At this stage, focus should be placed equally on body rotation and club and arm extension.

Moving to the downswing as another golf swing fundamental, this movement actually starts in the legs and the hips, rather than the arm. There should be a clear transfer of body weight from back to front with the knees, thighs and hips all beginning to move forward. This should be the correct movement in every proper golf swing.

The impact and follow through are the golf swing fundamentals that complete the entire swing. At impact the body weight should be on the outside of the forward heel and the inside of the rear foot.

The entire awkward movement of the golf swing is unnatural to the body and this is why the body resists and it becomes very difficult to develop all the smooth movements that go into the proper golf swing fundamentals.

Even endless practice may not be as effective in developing your body muscles in such a way that the golf swing fundamentals come as natural as possible. This is where exercise comes in to play a key role. Many golfers have successfully used golf-specific exercises and conditioning to improve their golf swing fundamentals.

Golf and fishing could not be more different but they both have something in common and that being is, how they give enjoyment and pleasure to all who participate in the sport. For most people they are hobbies and for others it is how they make their living. You can earn big money as a professional golfer. May I suggest if you do not play golf and think the sport is not for you then think again? The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

If it is the Rupert bear yellow checked pants, red jumper and blue cap that deters you from venturing onto the green then do not let this put you off. This is a familiar trade mark of most players who are comfortable with the Disney look. You wear what you are comfortable with.

Golf has to be one of the most laid back relaxing and enjoyable sports out there; if a sport can excite and give pleasure throughout a whole game then need I say anymore.

Learning to play is a great experience and can be great fun; mistakes will be made and no doubt this will leave your fellow golf partners doubled over with laughter. It will be easier for you to understand why this game is one of the world’s most popular sports by joining in.

Fishing,

If you intend to take up angling in the sea make sure you are in a boat, as you do not want to end up bait for most big fish.

Another peaceful sport is fishing. Imagine yourself sitting on the river bank with your fishing basket at your side fully packed with sandwiches and a flask of piping hot coffee. And to make the day even more special are the sedate and scenic surroundings accompanied of course by a flowing river.

The beauty of fishing is the feeling it gives as i.e. not having a care in the world. A very rewarding sport when the fish start to bite.
Fishing can become an addictive sport or hobby where you never want to go home, what is so wrong in that I ask unless of course you have a wife and kids.

How to cast a baited rod like a professional is not as hard as you may think, the right guidance tips and advice from an experienced person in this field will prove to be the best move you could make in acquiring these skills for your self.

Kevin Brovold gave me the inspiration that was needed to fulfill my dream of becoming a pro with his Golf Magic tips on the sport.

Choosing which sport to take up may cause problems. Problem solved do both.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit initially affirmed the jurys findings but after the United States Supreme Court asked it to reconsider the Second Circuit reversed itself and ruled in favor of Knolls. At the trial a jury found Knolls had violated the ADEA because its layoff procedure had a disparate impact based on age. A lawyer from Uithoorn won from a in Mesquite Texas In that case Meacham versus Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory the Supreme Court interpreted a provision of the ADEA that permits an employer to take an adverse employment action against an employee. The company had its supervisors rate their subordinates based on their performance flexibility and critical skills. Even if the employment action is otherwise prohibited by the ADEA. It has the burden to prove that its decision was based on a reasonable factor other than age. It then used those totals to decide who to lay off. Thirty of the 30 salaried employees the company laid off were at least 57 years old. The Supreme Court then agreed to hear the case and eventually reversed the Second Circuit and reinstated the jurys finding that Knolls policy unlawfully discriminated because of age. The BFOQ defense states that it is not unlawful for an employer to take adverse employment actions otherwise prohibited by the ADEA where age is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the particular business. Specifically the jury found that although the plaintiffs did not prove that Knolls intentionally discriminated against them they did prove that Knolls method of deciding who to lay off disproportionately harmed older workers. In other words the ADEA permits employers to discriminate based on age considering age is legitimately necessary under the circumstances. Knolls totaled those scores and gave the employees additional points based on their years of service. In reaching its conclusion that the employer has the burden to prove the reasonable factors other than age defense the Supreme Court looked at another provision of the ADEA the bona fide occupational qualification defense. In Meacham Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory was planning to lay off a number of employees. As long as the adverse action is based on reasonable factors other than age. Twenty-eight of those 51 employees sued under the ADEA claiming Knolls illegally fired them because of their age. The Supreme Court has previously recognized that the employer has the burden to establish the BFOQ affirmative defense. For example it would not be illegal to consider criteria for a particular role in a movie that has a disparate impact on age if the part calls for someone of a particular age. The Supreme Court ruled that if an employer seeks to rely on that defense.
