Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Today's episode remains one of the most important concepts to grasp if you want to improve your scores. All golfers have a fairly wide range of scores. For a 10 index, breaking 80 is a good round while shooting over 90 leaves him frustrated. The question: how many birdies does he makes in those good rounds vs in the bad rounds?
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!

| 0:03.9 | They're just birdie in every hole. And they're just, oh, they're flying and the scores are going. And then they have those rounds that, you know, just they're awful. And they can't make a birdie. Can't even make a part. I think we're talking about those kind of ideas, Lou, aren't we? We are. This is a good one. I was, um... |
| 0:21.9 | We don't do bad ones here. |

| 0:56.1 | And what I defined is they play well is they shoot 79 or better, and when they play poorly, they shoot 89 or worse. |
| 1:05.0 | The question is, how many birdies do they average when they shoot 79 or better? This is per round. And how many birdies do they average when they shoot 89 or worse?

Oh, did I win last time? Yeah, you won last time. You won last time. |
