Summary

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. How close do you need to be to the hole so that more of your shots finish outside 30 feet than inside? That's the question Lou puts to Mark and Greg in today's episode. It turns out, amateurs are often harder on themselves than they should be—and that we don't have enough awe at how good professionals are at this 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.
