SMS - 175 Yard Par 3, Average Score, Scratch, 10, and 20

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner May 9, 2026 Duration: 11:43
From a reasonably long par 3, what scores are typical for golfers of different levels? In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg about scoring averages on a 175-yard par 3. Tiny spoiler: there's a bonus question in this episode, and the answer there provides real insight into course strategy when fairway bunkers are in play. 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.
