Professional Caddies

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? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg give their advice for shaking off a period of bad golf and getting back to having fun on the course (and it might mean that having fun is how you break the slump).

Dealing With a Slump

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. This week's stat is simple: greens in regulation, the "traditional" stat that has the greatest correlation with handicap and scoring. In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg to guess the average GIRs of a scratch golfer and of a 15-index player. After, they give advice to help with your approaches to the green—and your approach to golf.

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!

Saturday Morning Golf Stat - GIR, Scratch vs 15 Index

With Lou out for this episode, Mark and Greg sit down to talk ground forces. Perhaps you caught Mark's video about the lesson Greg had about ground forces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eay0xd61fyY). In today's show, they talk about what it means to use the ground (hint: you are), how to use the ground well, and how wise use of technology can lead to big changes in your swing and improvements in ball flight—sometimes without thinking about how you're swinging at all.

Using Ground Forces

Project Lou returns! In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg talk about Lou's current progress, including a recent driver lesson in which Lou learned that he was re-gripping his hands on his driver swing.
