Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In today's episode, Lou challenges Mark and Greg to guess how many strokes it takes for a 5-index player to hole out from 75 yards in the fairway. The result is surprisingly—on multiple levels! Then the guys give solid advice for not wasting shots from this "easy" distance.
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!
