Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. From 150 in the fairway, most golfers are hoping for a pretty decent outcome. But what about the bad outcomes? How often with a scratch player and a 15-index end up with a shot 30 or more yards from the hole? The answer might surprise you (like it did Mark and Greg), and the discussion might help you play some smarter and better golf.
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!
