SMS - Median Driver Distance, 5, 15, 25 Index

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner October 11, 2025 Duration: 13:32

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. How far do golfers really hit their drives? Yes, increasing distance might help, but knowing the typical driver distance for your target index is really helpful. In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg how far a 5, 15, and 25 handicap golfer hits their drivers, and then they discuss the value of realism in your distances.


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!
