Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. What difference does hitting the fairway make? In this episode, Lou compares golfers of different skill in their ability to hit the green from 125 yards in the fairway versus the rough. Mark and Greg give their guesses, and what follows is a discussion about the skill of controlling a ball with good iron play from the fairway.

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!
