SMS - 325 Yard Par 4 Scoring Average, Scratch, 10, and 20

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner September 13, 2025 Duration: 15:00

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. Among the sweetest words in the English language: short par 4. But does that phrase set expectations too high? In this episode, Lou asks Greg and Lou what golfers of different skills average on a 325 yard par 4. From there, the guys talk about the best way to make the most of these holes—and compare their own games.


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!
