That final hole was such an excellent punctuation to the presentation! Found this from your conversation on the Sweet Spot podcast. Great talk. Learned a lot.
Absolutely amazing video. It's like a light bulb went off watching it. As a + handicap golfer, I've felt like I had a good grasp on course management until using these steps I went back and plotted my normal courses. It's astonishing how much my typical club choice and aiming points put my shots at risk. Thank you so much for posting this.
Hi Scott, Love the video and the system. How would you change this methodology for tree lined courses? For example, an old country club that I am trying to plan for has trees between every hole so any corridor on the course is rarely over 50 yards wide at any point. These are obviously not a water hazard but depending on the tree density, there might not be a chance to advance the ball toward the green if you are in the trees. Therefore, I think the strokes lost by hitting into the trees would be more than the strokes lost from hitting into a bunker in your examples here but probably not as many as hitting into a water hazard. Do you have a different methodology for courses with a lot of trees?
This is a great question. I have same challenge with many of our courses-even though no OB/hazards if you get into rough you’ll have a recovery shot and it’s basically a lost shot to get back. Not sure if he answered yet but I’m going to treat it like flow chart in the video and going all the way to the last hole example. Haha. I also need to work on driver dispersion and lowering it. 😂
Hi Scott, i'm putting together a video and will add in a screenshot of your flow chart. I'll also be point folks your way. More people need to know and understand your message. Every golfer needs to see this video!
I've always wanted to know where these courses with 60m wide space is. That's one hole at ~200-250m at my home club. 5821m would be an average length course, wouldn't it?
I’ve always said this to people I play with when they talk about accuracy....I’m a +3 and my dad is an 8...he’s always saying how do you get the ball to go exactly where you want....my reply is I DONT...rarely does it land EXACTLY...but hitting a million golf balls in my life YOURE shooting a sawed off shotgun and I’m shooting a moss berg with a full turkey choke
So where do I find courses with 65yd wide fairways. Most of courses I play in regional Australia are heavily tree lined and 30m wide and lakes in fairway at 200m and If spray driver around 220m then looking at Double or worse lost ball in trees. For a mid handicap golfer who hits it 220m, this seems different. Sure I have a game plan, and use google earth to plan game.
What I love about this video is every one has access to google maps.
Shout out to the Jon and Adam at sweet spot for this plug
Scott Fawcett... changing the game!! Awesome stuff. Buy decade, it's worth every penny.

This video should have 300K views. It's crazy to me how much more helpful this is when compared to all the 💩swing coach videos out there.
HA! Sooooo true...

Hey Ryan,
how did you golf evolve since then?
so good. makes sense. Feels like Brian Harmon played that way at the Open this year

Similar here in Queensland Australia. Would like to hear from Scott re this too! 🌲🌲🌲

Thanks!!!
I know its a few years ago but I'm just wondering if this video got made? Thanks

That's Firewheel - Master's hole number 4. I suggest just playing from the white tees haha
