0:30.0	Breaking 80s, shooting in the 70s consistently. We're talking wedge play, how to improve it,
0:35.1	how to lower those scores. Lou's going to kick us off with some stats. Wedges, Lou, define what you mean by wedges to start. Are we talking, you know,
0:42.4	like 150 yards, 64 degree smashes or what we're talking about? Yeah, pretty much. That's exactly.
0:49.1	To the air for a year. Yeah. So what kind of yardage is or like, you know, because we're not talking chipping now.
0:55.3	So I guess we're 50 yards out and then wherever it goes.

1:36.8	Cool. And what stats have you got for us then? Where are people going wrong with these clubs,
1:42.7	which is not allowing them to stay shooting in the 70s consistently?
1:47.0	You know, we're going to talk a little bit about greens and regulation. It's always important, right?
1:53.0	And as you're trying to shoot lower scores, we have to hit more greens. And that's a huge opportunity for amateurs.
2:00.0	Anywhere in the green is going to be better than off the green, even when you have longer
