Scott Fawcett doesn’t hold back in Part 2.

The DECADE founder and former tour pro joins us again — and this time he takes aim at some of golf’s most sacred beliefs:

• Why “Never Up, Never In” is terrible advice
• Why “Drive for show, putt for dough” is completely false
• The real reason PGA Tour players should often leave putts short
• The five mistakes Tiger tracked when he was at his best

Scott explains why speed control — not putting mechanics — is the fastest way for single-figure golfers to lower their scoring average.

We also dive into:

• Block vs random practice (and why golf isn’t like baseball)
• The concept of “capture size” and how hitting putts too firm effectively shrinks the hole
• Scott Fawcett's ultimate speed-control putting drill
• Why most golfers practice the wrong short-game shots
• The post-round analysis that actually leads to improvement

If you’re serious about improving, this episode might completely change how you practice — and how you think.

You don’t shoot lower scores by making more birdies.

Scott Fawcett — founder of DECADE, the course strategy system used by PGA Tour winners, Ryder Cup players and major champions — explains why your scoring average doesn’t drop by chasing birdies… it drops by eliminating stupid mistakes.

In Part One, we dive into:

• Why bogey avoidance matters more than birdie hunting
• The strategy shift that changed Tiger Woods & Scottie Scheffler
• Why your driver probably isn’t the problem
• The maths behind smarter golf decisions
• How DECADE was built — and why it works

This is the episode that will change how you think about scoring.

Part Two drops next week — where we break down how everyday golfers can apply this on their own course.

He’s set himself a target handicap for next season… but how low can he go?

Part 2 (Season 2, Episode 6) How Low Can You Go?

Jamie Dornan joins us for Part Two — and this one gets competitive.

We hit him with quickfire questions, including:

Would you rather win an Oscar… or a club championship?

From red carpet anxiety to first tee nerves, Jamie opens up about pressure, exposure, and why being watched on a wide shot can feel just as uncomfortable as standing over a three-footer.

We also get into the serious business.

Jamie is playing off 6.8 — the lowest handicap of his life — and puts a number on how low he believes he can go. Is 5 realistic? What does “Tier One” golf really mean? And how much of improvement is technical… versus mental?

We also break down:

• The 1v1 three-hole matches (yes, he beat us)
• Course management vs ego
• Why a par only takes one good shot
• “Restoring factory settings” after a bad hole
• The difference between a scratch swing and a scratch mindset

Plus, Jamie reveals the course he’d choose for his final ever round of golf — and the dream fourball he’d assemble.

If you care about improving your golf, handling pressure, and understanding what really separates good golfers from great ones — this episode is for you.

Follow the show for more competitive match play, honest golf conversations, and the journey to lower handicaps.

What does it really take for a club golfer to make the jump to single figures?

Part 1 (Season 2, Episode 5) How Low Can You Go?

In Part One of this episode of How Low Can You Go?, we’re joined by actor and passionate golfer Jamie Dornan — not to talk Hollywood, but to talk improvement.

Jamie shares his journey from a mid-to-high handicapper to a solid single-figure player, driven by obsession, curiosity, and a relentless desire to get better. We dive into how watching too much golf content led him to seek clarity, why a single lesson with the right question changed everything, and how playing in the Dunhill Links Pro-Am alongside DP World Tour players tested his game under real pressure — including the day he “nearly killed” two spectators with a golf ball.

This is a conversation for club golfers who feel first-tee nerves, chase consistency, and want to understand what actually moves the needle in improvement — without chasing perfect swings or tour-level golf.

If you’re trying to get better at golf, this one will resonate.

Why your practice routine is failing—and how to finally get it right.

Part 2 (Season 2, Episode 4) How Low Can You Go?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Adam Young — co-host of The Sweet Spot and author of The Practice Manual — we go deep into how to practice smarter, not harder.

Adam breaks down his DIRT system (Diagnose, Intervene, Refine, Transfer), explains why most golfers struggle to perform on the course despite hitting it perfectly on the range, and shows how randomized practice and spectrum drills can help you reduce big misses and truly transfer your skills under pressure.

Whether you’re a mid-handicapper or just obsessed with improving, this episode is packed with practical frameworks, actionable drills, and game-changing insights that could transform your next practice session.

🎯 Key takeaways:

• Why block practice often fails to improve real-course performance
• How to diagnose what’s truly costing you strokes
• The secret to transferring range success to the course
• Spectrum drills to control big misses and refine feel
• Insights for both mid-handicappers and advanced players

Why impact matters more than how your swing looks.

Part One (Season 2, Episode 3) How Low Can You Go?

In Part One of our conversation with Adam Young — co-host of The Sweet Spot and author of The Practice Manual — we explore why chasing perfect positions so often fails, and why great ball-striking comes down to something far simpler.

Adam explains:

• Why wildly different swings can produce elite results
• The Big Three impact factors every golfer must satisfy
• How focusing on tasks and feedback beats mechanical fixes
• Why “self-organising” movement leads to lasting improvement
• The Golden Rule for fixing faults in real time

This episode will challenge how you think about practice, technique, and what really matters when the club meets the ball.

Change Your Story. Change Your Golf.

Part Two (Season 2, Episode 2) How Low Can You Go?

In Part Two of our conversation with Karl Morris, we go deeper — into the stories golfers tell themselves, the identities they cling to, and why those narratives may be costing them far more shots than their swing ever could.

If Part One challenged what you work on in your golf, Part Two challenges who you believe you are on the course.

Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, explains why most golfers aren’t limited by lack of ability - but by outdated stories they’ve unknowingly rehearsed for years.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why “shouldism” (the belief that you should make birdies) quietly fuels big scores
• Why reducing doubles and triples matters far more than chasing birdies
• The powerful exercise Karl uses to help players rewrite their golfing identity
• How awareness of your “old story” gives you the freedom to choose a new one
• Why gratitude isn’t soft thinking — but a genuine high-performance state
• How gratitude reduces threat in the brain and helps you access the skill you already have

Karl also shares one of the most moving stories you're likely to hear on a golf improvement podcast — The Tuesday Boys — a reminder that none of us get unlimited rounds, unlimited seasons, or unlimited chances.

Every golfer eventually runs out of Tuesdays.

Golf improvement isn’t about positive thinking.
It isn’t about pretending bad shots don’t exist.
And it’s definitely not about lowering your standards.

It’s about changing your story — and changing your golf.

What if the biggest thing holding your golf back… isn’t your swing?

Part One (Season 2, Episode 1)

Season 2 of How Low Can You Go? starts with a question that challenges everything club golfers think they know about improvement.

We’re joined by Karl Morris, one of the world’s leading golf mental and performance coaches, who has worked with some of the best players in the game — including Major champions Louis Oosthuizen, Graeme McDowell, and Darren Clarke.

Many times on this podcast, we’ve quoted Karl’s books, referenced his ideas, and championed his work. So having him join us to open Season 2 feels like a defining moment for the show.

In this episode, Karl explains why:

• Anyone who says golf is all about the swing is wrong
• Anyone who says it’s all in the mind is also wrong
• Real improvement lives in the mind–body connection

We explore why so many golfers work incredibly hard… yet stay stuck:

• The crucial difference between developing skills and accessing skills
• Why golfers often lose access to shots they know they can hit
• How the brain can see the golf course as a place of threat, not opportunity
• Why acceptance may be the single most important mental skill in golf
• And a simple but powerful method Karl uses to help players “pre-load” acceptance before they even tee it up

This is not about giving up.

It’s not about lowering standards.

It’s about embracing the reality of the game — and finally unlocking better performance.

🎧 Part Two dives deeper into stories, identity, gratitude, and how changing the way you think about golf could change your results faster than another range session ever will.
