Bad training aids can be worse that useless. But a good training aid can really accelerate golf improvement. In this episode, Mark and Lou talk about some of their favorite tools to use and to recommend from a coaching perspective. There are tools to help deliver the club better, lots of solid home launch monitor options, and a really great tool to monitor your ground strike—even indoors.

SMS - Average Three Putts, Scratch, 10, and 20
Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Today's question is one of the most basic for lowering scores: three-putt avoidance. How often do various handicap levels three-putt? Lou puts that question to Mark and Greg, and after sorting out the answers, the guys give their best advice for not wasting shots on the green.
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!

Ryder Cup, Fleetwood, and Sponsor's Exemptions
As the end of the PGA Tour season draws near, there have been no shortage of interesting issues to discuss. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg talk about the upcoming Ryder Cup rosters, Tommy Fleetwood's failure to close out the BMW (and whether it tells us something about his ability to handle pressure), and the fact that Rickie qualified for the Top 50 largely on the strength of sponsor's invitations into high-point signature events.

Gain 20 Yards Without Swinging Faster
We all know that hitting drives further is an important way to lower our scores. And while speed training and better strength make a difference, there are gains to be had at your current swing speed. In this episode, Mark and Lou talk through some of the basic adjustments you can make to your equipment, setup, and swing that gain two clubs off the tee without swinging faster.
