SMS - How Far Away Is Five Shots?

How far away is 5 shots to the hole? Obviously, it depends on your skill level—and the difference is stark. In this episode, Lou quizzes Mark and Greg about the length of a "perfect" par 5 for a scratch, 10, and 20 index golfer. A key issue: quality of strike. But also: maybe think about playing a shorter set of tees?

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!
