Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Today's episode highlights a decent 10-index golfer, 90 yards from the hole in the fairway: expectations are high. Lou's question: how often will he get up and down from there? On the flip side: how often is it going to take him 4 (or more) shots to finish this hole? Mark and Greg offer their guesses, a winner is crowned, and we all get a lesson in what to expect on these "attack the flag" situations.
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 | So Saturday's that and apparently we're doing it live. Normal processes we get asked the question before we get recalled. We have a little time to think and then we go. Not hours, but this time we're doing it live. And I hate that. Greg's guesses are so unthoughtful. It doesn't matter either way. I'm two for two on life. Some of us don't choke under the kind of pressure of live performance. We don't have editing. |
| 0:22.9 | Yeah. |
| 0:23.8 | Go on and leave. |
| 0:25.2 | This is always fun for me. |
| 0:26.6 | So when we say we're doing it live, typically I ask Mark and Greg the question before we start |

| 0:35.3 | So I ask them the question. |
| 0:36.8 | They think about it for a minute. The smoke comes out. They write their answers down. So I asked them the question. They think about it for a minute. |
| 0:38.1 | The smoke comes out. |
| 0:39.6 | They write their answers down. |
| 0:41.4 | So they take about a minute and a half, two minutes to come up with their answers. |
| 0:45.3 | And then we hit record and then we start. |
| 0:47.5 | So they're hearing this question for the first time. |
| 0:50.7 | So here it is. |
| 0:51.9 | The hardest part of that process when we do it off is listening to Mark's. |
| 0:55.6 | You can hear Mark's brain ticking over. |
| 0:57.5 | The hardest part is me having to trying to understand what the question even is. |
| 1:01.2 | Oh, I'm going to be a questioner. |
| 1:02.7 | We're doing that live now. |
| 1:04.3 | Great. |
