Scott Fawcett returns to the show for his fourth (and best) appearance yet—and this one is packed with insights that can transform your game immediately.

Known as the "Moneyball of Golf," Scott is the creator of the DECADE Golf system, a data-driven approach to course management that's helped everyone from junior golfers to major champions like Bryson DeChambeau and Will Zalatoris.

I recommend DECADE Golf to all of my mental golf coaching students—and for good reason. It simplifies decision-making, builds confidence, and helps you play smarter under pressure.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The power of short game and putting routines.
• Why meditation matters—on and off the course
• A PGA Tour proven putting strategy to drain more putts every round.
• How to build a consistent chipping system that eliminates doubt
• Scott's plan to chase the Champions Tour
• And a wild Masters breakdown (including how Rory could've won by 10)

If you haven't join DECADE Golf yet, you are missing out!
