    SMS - 150 Yards in Fairway, Equivalent Shots from Rough
    May 3 2025
    Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Your ball is in the fairway, 150 yards from the hole. Now, put the ball in the rough, but at a yardage at which, on average, you'd hole out in the same number of strokes that you would have from 150 in the fairway. Where are you dropping? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg this question for golfers of various skill levels. As with the best SMS episodes: the answer surprises them, which means we're all going to learn something. 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.

  • Avoiding Big Numbers on the Course

    Avoiding Big Numbers on the Course
    Apr 24 2025
    Mike Tyson's famous aphorism is true for golf as well: everyone has a plan until he's punched in the face. And a round of golf will punch you in the face. When you find trouble during your round, how do you avoid those round-destroying blow-up scores? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg bring three tips for minimizing the damage. They talk about strategy, the skill of hitting recovery shots, keeping your eyes open for smart routes to the hole, and getting the driver under control. You know it: posting better scores is more a matter of reducing bag numbers than it is bagging more birdies. This episode will help you do exactly that.
