Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. We've all heard it before: "never up, never in." But is that what we see on the PGA Tour? And if not, why might it be a good thing for some of your putts to come up short? And is there a distance from the hole where you would want to see half of your putts coming up short?

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!
