Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. How far away is five shots from the hole? Obviously, this varies by skill level. In this episode, Lou asks Greg and Mark how far from the hole a scratch, 10, and 20-index golfer would need to be to average five shots to hole out. The gaps might be bigger than you think and provide the basis for an interesting discussion about the need for new tees at most courses: shorter tees. 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! Data is sourced from Arccos Golf. They have over 1 BILLION shots in their database.
