Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In today's episode, Lou has chosen a timely question: amateur driver distance. What percent of amateur male golfers are really hitting it 280+ off the tee? On the other end of the distance spectrum, how many average under 200? Mark and Greg offer their guesses and then break down the numbers.
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!
