Bonus: What does it really take to average par?

from GolfCask - Originals Hosted by GolfCask

What does it really take to average par? It’s not pretty swings. It’s not luck. And it’s definitely not hope. Par is a statistical outcome built on offense and defense—your ability to create birdie chances with your approach game and save par with your short game. In this video, I break down the exact numbers required to shoot par, explain why most golfers misunderstand them, and tell on myself for not knowing this sooner—even after coaching college golf. If you’ve ever said, “I played well but didn’t score,” this one’s for you. I’ve written the full breakdown of this concept—How Par Actually Happens—and it’s live right now on GolfCask.com inside Inside the Ropes. You have 7 days to read the complete write-up for free.
