Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. A couple of episodes ago, Lou asked Mark and Greg about bunker play; today's episode is the much-anticipated follow-up. How often do golfers (scratch and 15-index) leave a greenside bunker shot in the bunker? It's an incredibly frustrating moment on the course, and the guys give advice to minimize the chance of it happening to you, to improve your game. 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.  Check them out at: https://www.arccosgolf.com/  Use code DATALOU15 for 15% off! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Saturday stat time.

0:31.5

We're talking everybody's, like there were a shot who listens to this.

0:37.0

So many golfers hate this. I reckon a big

0:38.7

percentage of golfers don't like what we're about to talk about. And we're talking about bunkers

0:43.1

and not getting out of bunkers. Is that right, Lou? It's right. We talked about this recently

0:49.5

on the Saturday stat. How often does somebody leave their shot in the Greenside bunker? So they're in there

0:56.3

and they can't get out. And so that's what today's question is. So this was a fun Friday night at my

house running these numbers and getting this answer. Oh, I can only imagine. So the question is it's a

1:08.6

greenside bunker shot between 10 and 25 yards to the hole and what

1:13.4

percent of the time do they leave it in the bunker this is for a scratch player and a 15 index

1:20.4

right now what happens if they leave it in there twice does that mean anything i didn't look at

1:25.7

that i only just looked at it just on their initial shot.

1:29.4

Yeah. That could be another episode. How many, how many times did it take them four times?

1:34.3
