Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Not all 10-index golfers are the same. In today's episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg to guess the strokes difference between the best and worst 10-index putters and the strokes difference between the best and worst 10-index golfers in approach play. The numbers give insight into where different golfers should focus their efforts for the most efficient improvement. 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 750 MILLION shots in their database.
