Scott Fawcett: The Brutal Truth About Getting Better at Golf

What if trying TOO HARD to get better at golf is actually stopping you from shooting lower scores?

You're practising, chasing a lower handicap, working on your golf swing... but are you actually getting better?

Scott Fawcett, creator of DECADE Golf and one of golf's leading course strategy experts, is back on How Low Can You Go? — and he's challenging the way we think about golf improvement.

In Part 2 of our conversation, Scott gets brutally honest with Dave and Chris about their pursuit of single figures and scratch golf, why golfers constantly move the goalposts, and how obsessing over lower scores can actually hold us back.

And there's plenty of practical advice on how to practise smarter, improve your driving and putting, and take your range game onto the golf course.

In this episode, we explore:

Why chasing your golf handicap can become a trap — and why process beats outcome.How to practise putting more effectively and develop better distance control.Draw vs fade: why your driver fitting could be costing you accuracy and consistency.Why your best golf rounds never seem good enough.How to build a pre-shot routine that actually works under pressure.Why the mental game matters — but can't replace sound golf technique.How to stop overthinking your golf swing and play more freely.What Scott really thinks Dave and Chris should do to reach their golfing goals.

Plus, Scott shares why even his own golf can feel frustrating, despite regularly shooting under par!

And could Scott Fawcett be coming to Scotland in 2027?
