You drive it in the fairway on a 500-yard par 5: how far down the fairway does your ball need to go for that tee shot to be break-even Strokes Gained for your skill level? In this episode, Lou puts that question to Mark and Greg, for scratch, 10, and 15 index golfers. After the dust settles (and someone's answers get really close), the guys talk par 5 tee strategy.


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!
