Summary

Mike Hutchinson from Arccos Golf joins us with extensive research from their massive database of golf shots. Our main topic is uncovering what causes double bogeys the most and how they translate to scoring potential across handicap levels—we think you'll be surprised by the results! Other topics we cover include: How much does play frequency affect handicaps? How to choose between long irons and fairway woods/hybrids based on data and ball-striking tendencies What are the most important stats to keep track of? Which parts of the game separate higher handicaps and "average" players How big of a penalty is being short-sided?
