Summary
A 10-index golfer misses the green, but he's close to the green. Would he be better to be in the rough or the bunker? And by how much? In this episode, Lou brings the question to Mark and Greg. The first drama: can Greg continue trotting? Will the podcast continue when Lou needs to be rebooted mid-episode? And how can ordinary golfers make bunkers less penalizing?
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!

| 0:00.0 | It's Saturday. Here's that time. Have you had the answers come through already, Greg? No answers, mate. Don't need the answers. The answers from Lou come through for this little experiment. You two are running against me. Just kind of mental health experiment, you're somehow running against me. Tiger Woods doesn't need to call his coach when he's won seven in a row, buddy. Oh, there you go. |
