This episode of Wicked Smart Golf features Scott Fawcett, the creator of DECADE Golf and the man who revolutionized golf strategy through data-driven performance analytics. As a consultant for PGA Tour stars and elite amateurs, Fawcett shares how his DECADE system removes the guesswork from every shot.

What's inside the episode:

  • The "Double Cross" Trap: Why chasing two shot shapes with your driver is statistically the fastest way to blow up your scorecard. 
  • Tiger's Secret 5: The specific scoring mistakes Tiger Woods tracked to lower his average by nearly a full shot overnight. 
  • The 150-Yard Myth: Why aiming at the flag with a wedge in your hand is actually a "distraction" that leads to bogeys.
  • Putting Math vs. Traditional Advice: Why you should stop trying to hit lag putts 17 inches past the hole.
  • The "Mini Clock" Chipping Routine: A transformative practice drill to master proximity and stop "blowing" easy saves around the green.
  • The Decision Fatigue Cure: How elite players like Stewart Cink used DECADE to stay fresh during tournaments by letting math make their decisions.

And a lot more strategy tips.
