Summary
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In this edition of the Saturday Stat, Lou returns to Greg's wheelhouse: putting. Here, Greg and Mark take their best guesses at how often a scratch and a 20-index golfer 3-putt from 16–20'. Turns out, the answers surprise them—and likely you as well. Three-putt avoidance is a key to solid scoring (as Greg knows very well), and this episode will give you some keys to avoid wasting unnecessary strokes on the greens.
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 | Saturdays that time. Greg is on fire. He's the man the beat. I'm really up for this today, honestly. It's been so exciting watching him have his moment, and it's really, I'm proud of him. I'm really am. He says in a condescending, proud of him. Don't have your pride, mate. I'm good. Lou just said I'm proud of the little guy. |
| 0:21.8 | That was what I was saying. |
| 0:23.6 | Little guy says the guy who's shorter than me. |
| 0:27.3 | Thank you very much. |
| 0:29.0 | I think we're talking free putting today, are we? |
| 0:31.7 | We are. |
| 0:33.1 | We should be. |
| 0:33.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:33.7 | I feel like Greg is one of the best putters in the history of golf. He's been on a streak here on the Saturday stat. And now we're going to do a putting question. So I feel like the streak is just going to have to continue here because we're in his wheelhouse. We're playing. We're in his playground at the moment, Mark. We are. Yeah, we are. All right. So today's question is, what is the three putt percent from 16 to 20 feet? |
| 0:59.8 | So range of distances, 16 to 20 feet for a scratch player and a 20 index player. |
| 1:07.5 | So three putt, chances of three putting from that distance range, scratch and 20. Greg, we're |
| 1:14.1 | going to start with you and you get to go and tell me what your guess is for scratch players. |
| 1:19.7 | I've got scratch at 9%. Okay. I've got 4%. I've one. I've one. It's over. |
| 1:29.7 | All right, Mark, you get to go 20 indexes. |
| 1:32.9 | So I've got 11%. |
| 1:34.9 | Greg is just cracking up. |
| 1:41.0 | Greg's about to say 95%. |
| 1:43.3 | I've got 32%. |
| 1:45.1 | Not even close. |
| 1:47.4 | Not even close to Mark. |
| 1:48.7 | I love it. |
| 1:50.4 | I still don't know who's one. |
