Kyle and LKD spend an hour building the statistical revolution golf should already have — crushed-percentage, unforced errors, momentum adjustments, Ryder Cup psychology, all of it. It’s deeply nerdy, perfectly Normal Sport, and sometimes emotional (because Rory). Jason Page joins as producer-commentator and occasional philosopher. *Follow Our Guest* Luke Kerr-Dineen - https://twitter.com/LukeKerrDineen & https://www.instagram.com/lkd_golf/?hl=en 📫 200K golf fans follow us on social, and 17K read our free weekly newsletter, which is handcrafted to make the daily golf fan’s personal experience of golf feel more meaningful.
