Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. If a scratch player and a 10-index are both hitting PW from the fairway, how often are they hitting the green? Is the scratch player hitting it more often, or because he's (generally) hitting PW from a greater distance, is it about equal? In this episode, Lou poses this question to Mark and Greg, and then they discuss some of the ways these numbers can help you play better golf.
Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.
Listen on your drive to the golf course or over your Saturday morning coffee!
