SMS - 35 Yards in Rough, Median Proximity, Scratch, 10, and 20

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. You've missed the green in the rough, but you're still hoping to get up and down and save a score. How far are you likely to end up from the hole when you're 35 yards away and in the rough? In this episode, Lou quizzes Mark and Greg on median distance by handicap. Afterwards, they reiterate why you need to be aware of what a good shot really is—and how expectation management can increase your performance on the course.


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!
