It's one of the basics of golf etiquette: repair your pitch marks. And yet, almost universally, golfers complain that the other guys don't do it. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg tackle the topic of pitch marks. They float some theories as to why there are so many unrepaired craters in the greens and why the normal campaigns to get more people fixing their ball marks don't seem to be working.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In today's episode, the shot under consideration is the obvious green light: the chance to get up and down from about 100 yards away. How often does a scratch player actually accomplish that?

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In this week's stat, an ordinary golfer is 20 yards from the hole with a reasonable amount of green to work with.

Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

A slump. A setback. A downturn in form. A funk. A run of bad play. Whatever you want to call it, anyone who plays golf for any length of time will have a period in which their standard of play isn't meeting the standard that they've already established. How do you turn things around?

The advice to lay up to your favorite yardage simply refuses to go away, and people who really ought to know better continue to advocate for a strategy that is objectively unsound.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In today's episode, we begin by refreshing the difference between average and median, and then the question is about median proximity to the hole for highly skilled and higher handicap golfers from 40 yards in the rough. Lou's numbers alongside Mark and Greg's guesses set the table for an important discussion for how best to shave off strokes in your short game. 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.

Last week's Players Championship was a great event, ending with a dramatic, heartbreaking lip out. Historically, this tournament has tended to have one of the strongest—if not the strongest—fields in professional golf. Obviously, that was slightly less true this year, with yet another major competitor having decided to play on the LIV Tour. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg discuss some of the history of the fields at the Players and what its current state is.

It's weird when we stop to think about it: almost none of us have to play golf. And yet very often, we allow aspects of our leisure activity to fill us with fear: terror about certains kinds of shots, pressure situations, or outcomes.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. In this episode, Lou has chosen a stat that highlights the enormous importance of hitting greens. Suppose a scratch golfer is in the fairway, 125 from the pin. What's the expected difference in his scoring when he hits the green versus missing the green? Mark and Greg register their guesses, and then talk about ways to pursue a strategy on the course that maximizes greens hit. Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

When you're at the top of your backswing, where is your clubface pointing? And what does that mean for how the rest of your swing needs to work? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg discuss not just clubface control, but clubface awareness: knowing and feeling what the clubface is doing all through the swing. They suggest drills that will help you develop the feel of the clubface—a major key to helping you become a better golfer.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Many of us have spent the winter months working on indoor putting mats. When we return to the course, it's a bit shocking to remember that real greens don't have alignment lines. Making 15 straight ten-footers no longer seems quite so easy. In today's episode, Lou serves up a classic—and helpful—dose of expectation management, as he asks Greg and Mark about the make and 3-putt percentages of a 10-index golfer from 18 feet. 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.

What does changing your grip do for your golf game? Turns out, it isn't quite so simple as "stronger goes left." In this episode, Mark leads Lou and Greg in a discussion on how golfers hold the club. Do you release a re-grip the club during your swing? Are you sure? In what ways does grip interact with path? And did an episode of Project Lou break out in a non-Project Lou episode?

Over the past couple of years, Mark Crossfield has gained serious distance. For a long time, it was a joke on Mark's YouTube reviews that, whatever driver, whatever ball, he always carried every tee shot 262 yards. Then he began to put real work into the science of how speed in generated in the swing. In this episode, he and Lou and Greg talk about what he's learned, to what degree he is limited by his current physical capabilities, and how all of this can translate to your own driving distance on the course.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Not all shots from 10-index players in the fairway from 150 yards are the same. At some courses, the greens are enormous. At others, the targets are tiny. How much difference is there for our 10-index golfer when he's attempting to hit these two greens? In this episode, Greg and Mark try to tackle that question from Lou, and then they offer some insights that will help you hit more greens in regulation. Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

For years, the consensus advice for golfers was to swing smoothly. We've all admired the superb players who seem to exert no effort at all. But in more recent years, we've learned the value of distance, and increasingly we've seen swings (even at the highest levels of golf) in which golfers swing so hard that they finish off-balance, recoiling the club back around. So what are we supposed to be doing? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg give their advice for how hard we should be swinging if we want to shoot our best scores.

The PGA Tour continues to rebuild its membership structure on the fly, changing up who qualifies for a card and what events different players can get in. In this season, that has created a crunch for those who earned their cards through Q School, many of whom are struggling to get any starts on Tour so far. In this episode, Greg and Mark and Lou talk about these changes, what they mean for players on Tour, and how the Tour is challenged to both reward its stars while providing avenues for up and coming players to gain status.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. There are fewer attributes more requested by amateur golfers than consistency. What does that mean? In this episode, Lou quizzes Mark and Greg about the range of scores typical of a 10–15 index golfer, along with their "outlier" rounds, in which they score 5 shots better or worse than average.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. When comparing golfers of different skill levels, the Saturday Morning Stat often asks about their differing performance from the same yardage. But in general, golfers with lower handicaps also hit the ball further which each club than higher handicap golfers, and physics dictates that it is easier to hit a PW straighter than a 7i. So in this episode, Lou asks Greg and Mark to guess the percent of greens hit by scratch and 15-index golfers from the fairway with their pitching wedges. Will the numbers even out, or will the lower-index player still outperform the high-handicapper? Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

It today's Hack it Out Golf podcast we are discussing some of the things you need to be thinking about when faced with challenging weather conditions on the golf course. Playing golf in adverse weather conditions can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for golfers seeking to improve their skills on the golf course. To enhance their performance during unfavorable weather, golfers must adapt their approach and maintain composure throughout their golf swings. Firstly, it's crucial to make club selections that suit the weather conditions and the specific challenges of the golf course. By adjusting their golf swing strategies and golf club choices to the weather conditions and golf course demands, golfers can navigate the challenging elements more effectively. Secondly, maintaining mental resilience and composure is paramount when attempting to play better golf in inclement weather conditions on the golf course. The mental aspect of golf plays a significant role, especially when facing adverse weather. To perform well, golfers should stay patient and accept that unfavorable weather is an inherent part of the game of golf. By visualizing successful golf swings and remaining focused on executing the fundamental techniques, golfers can tackle the challenges presented by inclement weather with confidence. Embracing a positive mindset allows golfers to view challenging weather conditions as opportunities for improvement and growth on the golf course. Moreover, adopting a more conservative approach in response to the weather, such as aiming for the center of the green rather than risky pin placements, can lead to more successful golf swings and better outcomes during the round. Remembering that all golfers are affected by adverse weather, maintaining a strong mental game can provide a competitive advantage and contribute to playing better golf in challenging weather conditions on the golf course.
