SMS - Top 10 Tour Pro vs Sub-150 Tour Pros, Greens Hit from 175

SMS - Top 10 Tour Pro vs Sub-150 Tour Pros, Greens Hit from 175

Tour pros are good—we all know that. But how much better are the very best Tour pros compared to their peers further down the leaderboards? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg about how often Tour players hit the green from 175 yards in the fairway. The comparison: the top 10 players in the world versus those ranked from 150–175. How big is the gap between these elite golfers? There's a scoring controversy, but also some good discussion about how thin the margins are between the best golfers on the planet.


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!
