- Why one shot shape is better
- Irons VS Driver
- Optimizing the shot pattern
- The “problem” with distance
- Is distance actually a problem?
- The solutions
- The problem with bifurcation
- LIV Golf
- Is LIV Golf good for the game?
- Will it survive?
- The problems and benefits LIV has created

- What is strokes gained?
- How should you use it?

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.
