So the journey to shooting in the 70s consistently.

Breaking 80 continues.

We're talking T-shots and distance tonight.

We've done many other aspects of breaking 80 score, one of them, T-shot accuracy.

If you haven't checked that one out, maybe listen to that one after tonight's accuracy,

distance T-shot, breaking 80 series pod.

Lou, you've got some stats for us to kick us off.

Is it important that people have a certain amount of distance if they want to break 80

and shoot in the 70s consistently?

Distance is very important, very strong relationship to how far you hit the golf ball

and what your handicap is

going to be. But before we look at some of the general numbers, one of the things I did in

Arcos was I looked at year over year improvement of amateur players in distance. So I wanted to

find players that, and I think it was players that was 20 or 25 rounds,

at least in each year. And I wanted to find the players that added 10 or more yards of distance

from one year to the next. Okay. And then I looked at how their scoring changed.

And I didn't just look at their scoring average because you can, you know,

you can play different courses.

And a 75 here is different than a 75 at another place.

So I looked at their strokes gained and how they did what strokes gained.

And 81% of players that added 10 or more yards improved their

scoring, and 65% improved their scoring by one stroke or more. That's a pretty big uptick.
