In Part 2 of our conversation with Scott Fawcett from DECADE Golf, we shift from shot shaping into how golfers can actually prepare to score better. Scott shares what he’s focusing on as he gets ready for tournament golf, including 20- to 40-foot speed control, basic chip-shot practice, and avoiding the mistakes that lead to big numbers. We also get into a debate on block versus random practice, why so many golfers struggle to take their range game to the course, and how a better pre-shot routine can improve commitment. This episode is all about practicing with more intention and turning your existing game into lower scores. Thank you to our sponsors, For Wellness and LMNT Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too.

LMNT’s new Lemonade Iced Tea flavor combines electrolytes, magnesium, and potassium with no sugar or questionable sports drink ingredients, plus caffeine from black tea extract for a steadier energy boost. Because the caffeine comes from tea, it’s naturally paired with L-theanine and polyphenols, which can feel smoother than the spike-and-crash effect of many energy drinks. For golfers looking for hydration and a little back-nine energy, this is a great option to try. With any purchase you're going to get a free sample pack.

Check out Jon's new YouTube Channel with Pete's Golf called Golf Gear Explained: https://www.youtube.com/@golfgearexplained Scott Fawcett from DECADE Golf joins us for another wide-ranging conversation, and this one quickly turns into a deep dive on one of golf’s most debated topics: shot shaping. Scott, Adam, and Jon debate what a “double-cross” really means, why most golfers are better served by developing a reliable stock shot, and where shot-shaping practice can still be useful for building clubface and path awareness. We also discuss examples from the Masters, including Rory McIlroy’s driver patterns at Augusta, and why advice that applies to elite players often needs more context before everyday golfers try to copy it. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Scott. In Part 2, we’ll get into how he prepares for tournament golf, the putting and short-game drills he prioritizes, and a more debate on block versus random practice.

Purchase Jared Tendler's new book, Everyday Golf Psychology here Join the free community Jared created around the book here In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by Jared Tendler to break down the biggest misconceptions in the mental game and the release of his new book Everyday Golf Psychology. They explore why golfers are obsessed with “finding it,” why that mindset is fundamentally flawed, and how real improvement comes from managing variability—not eliminating it. The conversation dives into frustration, pressure, and negative thinking, with a focus on identifying root causes and using simple, repeatable logic to respond more effectively on the course. They also discuss why golf isn’t “90% mental,” but why your worst golf often is—and how improving your C-game is the fastest path to lower scores. The episode ultimately reframes how golfers should think about improvement: less about perfection, more about awareness, perspective, and learning how to “suck less” when it matters most. Thanks to our show sponsors Rhoback, LMNT, and Ethos: Staying properly hydrated is critical for performance, and electrolyte imbalances can lead to fatigue, cramps, and brain fog—exactly what you don’t want on the golf course.

This episode explores a few common traps golfers fall into, starting with the overreliance on club fitting as a “fix” rather than a tool that can only accommodate your tendencies. Jon and Adam make the case that real improvement comes from skill—especially your ability to identify and adjust strike patterns. They also break down the handicap system and why matches can feel unfair, but ultimately argue you’re better off accepting the variability and focusing on your own performance.

In this episode, we’re joined by renowned coach and co-founder of the Titleist Performance Institute, Dave Phillips, for a deep dive into how the body truly drives the golf swing. We explore why there’s no single “perfect” swing and how understanding a player’s physical capabilities is critical to building a repeatable, efficient motion. Dave shares behind-the-scenes insights from working with elite players like Jon Rahm, including how limitations can actually become strengths when properly managed. We also discuss the role of technology, biomechanics, and AI in the future of coaching—and where human coaching still matters most. Dave also discusses how he co-founded For Wellness with Phil Mickelson, and the benefits of the products for health and recovery. If you’ve ever wondered why your swing changes or how to build more consistency, this conversation will change how you think about improvement.

To learn more about Adam's 8-week course, visit this link: https://www.adamyounggolf.com/8wk/ This episode explores why many golfers struggle to score well—not because of their swing, but because of how they think on the course. We break down the concept of “fast vs. slow thinking” and explain how most players use these mental systems in the wrong order, leading to poor decisions and unnecessary mistakes. You’ll hear real on-course examples of how emotional, instinctive decisions can derail a round, and why better players rely on more deliberate thinking before the shot. We also discuss the dangers of overthinking during execution and how it can lead to paralysis over the ball. The goal is to help you recognize your own patterns and make smarter decisions that lead to lower scores.

This episode dives into the 2026 Shot Scope data report to uncover why most golfers struggle to break 80. Using data from hundreds of thousands of rounds, the discussion reveals that scoring isn’t about making more birdies, but about avoiding costly mistakes and managing difficult situations more effectively. It walks through each part of the game—off the tee, approach play, short game, and putting—to show how small inefficiencies compound into higher scores. The episode also challenges common misconceptions about what it takes to improve, highlighting why many golfers get stuck in the same scoring range. Ultimately, it reframes breaking 80 as a problem of consistency, positioning, and damage control—not perfect golf.

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore one of the most common reasoning errors in golf instruction: false dichotomies. Many debates in golf are framed as “either/or” arguments—technique vs feel, steep vs shallow, mechanics vs athleticism—when the reality is far more nuanced. Jon and Adam break down how these faulty binaries show up in instruction, social media discussions, and the way golfers interpret advice. They explain why this type of thinking can slow improvement and create unnecessary confusion for players trying to get better. The episode offers a more balanced framework for evaluating golf ideas without falling into the trap of choosing sides.

Former Navy SEAL and performance coach Jason Kuhn tackles one of golf’s most frustrating problems - the yips. Jason shares his unique special forces background, struggling with the yips himself, and working with elite athletes across multiple sports, and explains why the yips are often misunderstood. The conversation dives into the psychology behind performance breakdowns, why trying to “fix” the problem can sometimes make it worse, and how golfers can change their relationship with fear and pressure on the course. Whether you’ve struggled with the yips yourself or just want to understand the mental side of performance, this episode offers a fascinating look at why our brains sometimes sabotage our best intentions.

This episode tackles a classic Ben Hogan quote: “You only hit a straight ball by accident… so you’d better make it go one way or the other.” We break down what that really means, and whether trying to shape every shot is actually helping your game or quietly widening your dispersion. Using real launch monitor data, on-course experience, and some ball-flight physics, we explore why tighter shot patterns matter more than how the ball curves in the air.

In this episode, Jon and Adam explore where golf technology is heading after some eye-opening demos at the PGA Show, including AI-powered swing analysis and voice-interactive simulator coaching. They wrestle with the big question: will these tools actually make golfers better, or are we overestimating what AI can realistically diagnose and communicate? The conversation then shifts into a practical experiment using AI to simulate optimal target strategy, revealing just how many strokes golfers can save by aiming smarter. A wide-ranging discussion on tech, decision-making, and the limits (and promise) of data in improving your game.

They break down practical, experience-based signs of improvement - from losing fewer balls and avoiding compounding mistakes to making better strategic decisions when things go wrong. The conversation dives deep into course management, adaptability, mental crutches like mulligans and gimmies, and why better golfers tend to miss in smarter places. A wide-ranging, honest discussion that helps golfers recalibrate their expectations and recognize real progress long before it shows up on the scorecard.

In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by club-fitting experts Woody Lashen and Sonny Burgo from Pete's Golf to unpack what’s really going on with the surge in zero-torque style putters, most notably from L.A.B. Golf. They explain who these putters can genuinely help, who they can hurt, and why no putter technology is ever a one-size-fits-all solution. The conversation expands into how elite fitters think about face rotation, weight, loft, grip styles, and even the yips—and why confidence and predictability matter more than chasing trends. A wide-ranging, myth-busting discussion that shows why great putting is less about buying the “right” putter and more about matching the tool to the player.
