Is It Harder to Go from 3 to Scratch than from 15 to 5?
A couple of golf improvement listener questions for Mark, Lou, and Greg in today's podcast. The first: is it easier to get from a 15-index down to 5 than to get from 3 down to scratch? The guys bring their own experiences and Mark's coaching to consider the different ways that people improve. Then they turn to some ways to get in short game practice in shorter blocks of time.

SMS - 10 Index, Good Rounds vs Bad Rounds, FW Hit
What is a fairway worth? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg to compare the good and bad rounds of a 10-index golfer. We'd expect that when an amateur of this level scores well, he's probably hitting more fairways than he does in his bad rounds. But how many more? The answer the is revealed, and the guys offer strategies for maximizing your scoring potential off the tee. 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.

Feel and Measured Data
For the avid amateur golfer, there is more measured data for swing movements, club delivery, and ball flight than ever before. Is it too much? In this episode, Mark and Lou break down how to use swing data. There are devices that can measure body part motions: how can these help—without changing everything to make an app happy? A disciplined use of these tools can be enormously beneficial, and Mark and Lou give advice for doing just that.

Will My Swing Changes Even Help?
Lou's been working on his swing for a while now. Is it actually better? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg consider the goals of a swing change. Is a swing better when it looks better?

SMS - 10 Index, Scoring with No Penalties, But Recovery Shots
You didn't lose a ball—and that's a great feeling. But what about the sideways chip-outs? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg how a 10-index scores when he has no penalty shots, but does have recovery shots. What happens to scores in rounds when you're punching out from under a tree a few times? And since we're all going to end up there: how do we get better at making those shots useful? Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat.

Handicap Skill Tiers by the Numbers
There's nothing like numbers to show the enormous differences between the elite golfers and, you know, most of us. In this episode, Mark and Lou open up the stats database to show just how good the best golfers are, and how much the average amateur is playing almost a different game altogether. The point is this: learning to play boring golf is, for most of us, a significant step forward in our enjoyment of the game.

When Your Setup Is Perfect
You step into the shot and start to settle in. How do you know when you've nailed your setup and are ready to go? In today's episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg reply to a listener question about setup. The quest for "perfect" is itself a challenge: you can make a bad swing out of a good setup and a good swing from a bad setup. But there are ways to learn your own tendencies, what works for you, and how to keep those good setup positions in place for future rounds.

SMS - Scratch and 15, Holes Per Double or Worse
How many holes can you go without a double (or worse)? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg to compare to very different skills levels (scratch and 15-index) at double-bogey avoidance. After Greg gives what might be the least accurate answer in the history of the Saturday Stat, the guys get it back on the rails and discuss ways to avoid the card-wreckers.

Is the Open Rota Too Dependent on Weather?
The 2026 Open ended yesterday, but Mark has questions about its future. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg start with an obvious premise: the way that the Open Rota links courses play tends to be more determined by weather than is the case for the majors based in America. As weather patterns change, has the Open gotten too baked out? Should links golf subject its competitors to more cold and rain? And how much luck is too much?

SMS - 3 Putt Percentage from 25, Tour, 5, and 15
Three-putts ruin rounds—especially when you're not that far away from the hole. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg compare the 3-putt percentages from 25 feet of Tour players to 5-index and 15-index golfers. It turns out, Tour players and good and 15-index golfers are less good. But it might surprise you by how much—and light a fire to practice the things that will actually help you avoid wasting shots on the greens.

Games to Improve Your Chipping
Mark has been aiming to play at a serious level—and his chipping is holding him back. In this episode, Mark makes a plea for help: do Greg and Lou have any practice tips to improve his game within 30 yards? Mark isn't alone here: many amateur golfers cost themselves strokes in this range. Lou and Greg offer practice games and (even contrasting) ways to think about these delicate shots to get the ball closer to the hole more frequently.

Code of Conduct Penalties?
Golf is a maddening game—sometimes even at the highest levels. In the recent US Open, penalties were issued to a player who melted down on a hole, and they were costly.
