Would You Rather a Pro Hit Your Drives or Your Approach Shots?

Would You Rather a Pro Hit Your Drives or Your Approach Shots?

If you could sub in a professional golfer for one shot each hole, what would it be? In this episode, Mark talks Lou and Greg through a recent video of his that tests this question. On some holes, he hit a tee shot for his friend; on others, the approach shot. Which helped more? And which might make the biggest difference in your game? Knowing this might give you an insight as to the best place to invest your practice time.
