SMS - Shooting 5 Strokes Better Than Scoring Average

Where is the good variability in scoring? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg about the ridiculously good rounds—where you go out and shoot 5 strokes (or better) than your season scoring average. How likely are you to do that if you're a low versus and high handicap player?


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!
