Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. This week's episode takes us to a greenside bunker, where we're joined by a scratch golfer and a 15 index.

Go For It or Lay Up?
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. In this episode, Mark and Lou (minus Greg, who was out owning the Champions Tour) attack this myth again. They also give important clarification: in rejecting "laying up to a preferred yardage," are they advocating attacking every green? (No.) This episode is an important refresher of the data-driven reasons to get the ball as close as you can to your target without taking on unnecessarily penalizing risk

Customer Reviews
Short, simple, and sweet
Beyond glad I found this podcast. It has allowed me to manage my expectations while on the course. #teamgregulator
Balanced Talking
I love the podcast. The level of detail around the statistics and the inside of provides to the game is wonderful. I love the insights and discussion from all three of the hosts. However, Mark tends to dominate the discussion probably talking close to 70% of the time, and only communicates about 30% of the relevant information overall. I would highly suggest that he reduced the amount he talks and balance it with Lou and Greg.
Tourney recaps are great!
Keep it up guys. Love the tournament, recaps from Greg and all the questions and all the details that y’all get into love the show.
