Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Greg's day job has him occupied again, so Mark and Lou turn to the audience for some competition. Today's question in straightforward: a scratch golfer is in the fairway, 7 iron in hand. What percent of the time will he hit the green? This is a great benchmark number to keep in mind as we aim to have informed expectations. 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.
