Breaking 80s shooting in the 70s consistently.

We're talking wedge play, how to improve it, 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, like 150 yards, 64 degree smashers or what we're talking about? Yeah, pretty much. To the air for a year. Yeah.

So what kind of yardage is or like, you know, because we're not talking chipping now. So I guess we're 50 yards out and then wherever it goes. Is that where we are with this idea? I'm looking at full wedges here, which for most people is going to be in that 75 to 125 to 125 range. Cool. Like it. Yeah, we're talking about that range, not where we get into the partial wedges. And even 75 for a lot of players, 80, starts to get down into some partial-ish

swings depending on what kind of shot they're hitting. But we're talking those yardages,

those clubs, which for most people, as I look in the Arcos database at all these numbers,

is their pitching wedge,

is there a gap wedge, 52, 56, you know, some people 60, depending on the yardage.

So those are what we're talking about here.

Cool. And what stats have you got for us then? Where are people going wrong with these clubs,

which is not allowing them to stay shooting in the 70s consistently?

You know, we're going to talk a little bit about greens and regulation. It's always important,

right? And as you're trying to shoot lower scores, we have to hit more greens. And that's a huge opportunity for amateurs. Anywhere in the green is going to be better than off the green, even when you have

longer putts coming in. So we have to hit greens as a start. It starts to get a little bit different

for Greg, depending on the situation at his level, but for us, we have to get on green.

So we're going to look at greens, which we have in a lot of these full swing pods because

it's so important. And then proximity. And we're going to talk about proximity more from a

expectation standpoint. Like it. So I'm going to save that one. I'm just going to go through greens and regulation here first.

Yeah.

Or hit green percent.

So from 75 to 100 yards.

And again, as we've done in all of our other episodes on the series, we're going to

compare 15 handicaps versus five handicaps.
