Welcome to season five of The Perfect Par podcast! It is incredible to think that I have been doing this podcast for five years. Thank you to everyone who listens. This year, I will be focusing more on golfing stories from junior and collegiate players. I hope these stories, balanced with the knowledge-dense episodes from the past years, will help unlock our best golf yet.

In this episode, I finish my conversation with Scott Fawcett. We discuss how to optimize your practice rounds and the future of DECADE Golf. Scott’s Book Recommendation: The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance by Josh Waitzkin (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Learning-Journey-Optimal-Performance/dp/0743277465) About DECADE Golf: DECADE Golf has solved golf strategy by combining shot distribution patterns and PGA Tour scoring statistics. When Scott combined those two data sets he created a simple way to optimize target selection. DECADE quickly generates the optimal target that will produce the lowest score based on distance, hazards, and hole location. Learn More Here!
