Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. It's a real problem: handicap golfers hit their approach shots short—a lot. But how often? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg how often, from 175 yards, golfers of different abilities will manage to hit their shots at least 90% of the target distance. After sorting through their (very different) answers, Mark and Greg give their best advice for getting the ball to the target more regularly.

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!
