| 0:07.9 | lou and gregg breaking 80 consistently shooting in the 70s what are the stats telling us |
| 0:15.0 | loo what do people need to do what are they doing wrong why can't they consistently shoot in the 70s |
| 0:20.7 | let's get stat hole in lou oh yeah this awesome. I love when you ask me that question. Yeah. Let's go to the stats. Your little face lights up. Let's go to the numbers. He's asking me first. Where do you want to start? Because I have about 400 stats we're going to get through. So you pick the order. Yeah, yeah. So I picked out just a couple that we're going to go through here that are pretty |
| 0:42.2 | interesting. Of all of the traditional stats out there, and I've said this a million times, |
| 0:48.9 | Greens and Regulation, extremely important. And so if you're trying to consistently shoot in the |
| 0:53.8 | 70s, you're going to get down to about a five handicap or better. And so if you're trying to consistently shoot in the 70s, you're going to get |
| 0:54.9 | down to about a five handicap or better. And a five handicap is going to shoot in the 70s, maybe 40% |
| 1:01.3 | of the time, 45% of the time, depending on the course that you're playing. And so we want to get |

| 1:13.0 | And I'm going to compare that to a 15 handicap. |
| 1:15.2 | So greens and regulation, a 15 cap is hitting just under five greens per round, |
| 1:20.3 | about 4.95. |
| 1:22.0 | And a five cap is 8.64 per round. |
| 1:25.8 | So that's the difference between 15 and 5. So you need to tack on, you know, 3.7 additional greens per round. Cool, that's a long. If you want to go from a 15 to... Yeah, it's a lot, right? It's a fair amount if you're 15, only hitting, you know, less than 5 per round. Yeah, okay. I was hitting five greens per round sound to you, Greg. |
| 1:47.4 | Oh, living hell. |
| 1:48.5 | Yeah. |
| 1:48.8 | Like he's getting in the car early and going home. |
| 1:52.5 | Let me just, I'll pack my bag, guys. |
| 1:54.2 | Let me get my coat. |
| 1:56.0 | All right. |
