Rolling Back the Rollback?
October 07, 2026

The parameters for the pending rollback seem to have changed again. In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg talk about the newest edition of the Model Local Rule for golf ball distance. Does this latest revision make any more sense? And now they're talking about regulating shaft lengths again—does this promote or punish skill? And is it a legitimate barrier for golfers taller than Lou and Mark?

SMS - Scratch, 5, and 15, Median Prox, 7 Iron
October 02, 2026

We know that better golfers hit it closer from every distance. And they generally hit every club further and higher index golfers. What happens when golfers of all levels are hitting the same club? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg about the average proximity to the hole that a scratch, 5-index, and 15-index golfer will have when hitting their 7 irons. Will they be similar with the same club, even if they're playing that club from very different distances?


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!

When Practice Just Won't Transfer to the Course
September 30, 2026

It's a common complaint: my range game doesn't transfer to the course. But what if it's not just a range session, but consistent practice in a simulator, feedback from a coach, etc., and it still isn't lowering your handicap? In this episode, Mark, Lou, and Greg give some really honest feedback to a listener whose extensive work—and seeming progress—abandons him on the course. Are there holes in his practice—or in his evaluation of his practice? And what kind of expectations for improvement are realistic?
