Mark Broadie is one of the most influential voices in modern golf. As the creator of Strokes Gained and a professor at Columbia Business School, his work has completely changed how players—from amateurs to PGA Tour pros—analyze and improve their game.

His research has helped shift the focus from guesswork to data, giving golfers a clear, proven way to actually lower their scores.

In this episode, we cover:

• How distance is your scoring potential
• Why traditional stats don't tell the real picture
• The importance of greens in regulation (GIRs)
• How to use data to actually lower your handicap
• What Strokes Gained is (and why it matters for your game)
• How to improve your putting performance (both lag putts and short putts)

And more powerful lessons to help you this season.
