Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. You're going to miss greens. But can you miss them better? In this episode, Lou quizzes Greg and Mark about the effect of short-side misses on the score of an average golfer. This is information that you can put to practical use when you choose your targets in your next round.
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!

| 0:25.6 | Well, no, because this is one of those questions where this is not just an easy, quick data pull out of the Arcos database. |
| 0:36.2 | This is a deep dive. |
| 0:37.8 | Like we're talking serious deep dive the Arcos database. This is a deep dive. Like we're talking, |

| 0:46.6 | You have 10 index players. |
| 0:48.7 | And we are only looking at the rounds where they hit exactly six screens in regulation. And he gave you some |
| 0:56.0 | context, a 10 index averages just over six screens in regulation. So we only want the rounds |
| 1:02.2 | where they average exactly six screens in regulation. This is a two-part question. Part one is |
| 1:08.5 | what is their scoring average when they short side it three times or less? |
