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 the scoring averages for a 20-index player on a couple of "typical" holes. They'll give advice for improving strike (get a Divot Board with a discount using code CROSSFIELD10) and discuss why it is that Greg hates high handicap golfers so very, very much.
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!
