    SMS - 10 Index, Birdies Per Round Shooting 70s vs 90s
    Feb 21 2026

    Longtime listeners of the pod will know that for typical golfers, the key to lower scores isn't making more birdies. Today's episode drives that point home. How many birdies will a 10-index golfer make when he shoots in the 90s versus his rounds when he shoots in the 70s? Mark and Greg offer their guesses, and there is no small surprise when Lou reveals the correct answer....


    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!

  • Changing Grip to Change Shot Shapes?

    Changing Grip to Change Shot Shapes?
    Feb 19 2026

    Today, a listener question: is changing grip a good way to change a shot shape on a particular shot? Mark brings this topic to Lou and Greg, and they discuss whether they themselves would use differing grips on the course to hit specific shots. From there, there's a bit of a deep dive into the various ways (and there are many) that grip changes can change ball flight—with maybe a dash of Project Lou here as well.
