Duane F. Schiestel, BBA

Duane swung his first golf club at age 12.  For his science fair projects he began to conduct advanced statistical experiments and was a Silver Medalist at the Canada-Wide [National] Science Fair competition.  He was a keynote speaker at the International Taguchi Symposium on advanced statistics, where he met Dr. Genichi Taguchi from Japan.  Dr. Taguchi and Dr. Deming shared a mutual friendship.  Duane spoke at this event as a 14-year old grade 9 student.  For his last project he made 16 Sand Wedges and studied the effect of 5 variables  + 10 interactions, which determined the significant variables that reduced his overall putting distance by 16%.

Duane has had his research published, has been featured in 2 magazines, and has talked on the radio about the benefits of custom fitted golf clubs.  He is a recent Wilfrid Laurier University [WLU] graduate.  He co-authored the “The Game of Golf – 100 Methods to Improve™.”

ASQ Quality Progress [Nov. 2001]

Duane’s passion is golf and he sports a handicap of +1.0 [below scratch].  His average drives are 300 yards with roll.  His personal best long drive is 370 yards (on the flats and non-wind assisted).  His lowest number of putts was 23 over 18 holes [one-putted a total of 13 out of 18 greens].  His personal best low round was a course record '64' to a club 55-years old.  Since our local course is a par 35 nine-hole track, Duane has shot 5 under '30' on several occasions.
