The “Strokes Gained” system has revolutionized golf analytics and how players approach improvement on the PGA Tour. What many golfers do not realise is that strokes gained analysis is just as valuable for the average amateur player interested in improving, and as you will learn from this conversation, it is very easy to use and understand. Just before we get to the episode I wanted to remind you Fit For Golf  has it own App, loaded with training programs suitable for all levels of golfer.
