This week on Pivot The Path, we look beyond raw talent and into what truly shapes a golfer's journey — resilience, process, and the courage to keep showing up.Inspired by their performances this weekend across LIV Golf and the PGA Tour  — and the contrasting stories of Anthony Kim and Collin Morikawa — we break down two very different paths: the bravery of a comeback and the discipline of sustained excellence.We dive into what separates the upswing from the downswing, how sequencing and movement create repeatable impact, and why real improvement isn't about copying swings — it's about understanding your body, trusting your process, and owning your development.Whether you're rebuilding after setbacks or refining your edge, this episode is a reminder that progress isn't linear — and the journey is defined by how you respond, reset, and move forward.Because talent opens doors — but process keeps you in the game.Get in touch to learn how to Own Your SSWING:

This week's episode rides the momentum across global tournament golf — from James Nicholas breaking through on the Korn Ferry Tour, Elvis Smylie making an immediate statement on LIV Golf, and Patrick Reed returning to the winner's circle on the DP World Tour, to a Jersey-tough performance from Gotterup on the PGA Tour. All of it unfolds alongside Super Bowl weekend and the kickoff of the Winter Olympics — a powerful reminder that when the moment gets big, preparation shows up.Then we bring it straight back to your game. Because it's not just mindset — it's mechanics. We dive into why gear effect matters, how strike location directly shapes ball flight, and why performance can't be separated from preparation, movement, and the tools in your hands. If you've ever hit what felt like a good swing and watched the ball do something unexpected, this episode explains why — and how to start owning your strike and truly Own Your SSWING.Shop SSWING Swag

This week's Improvement Pivot Point is simple, but decisive: Be Detailed.The Farmers Insurance Open gave us a masterclass in what that actually looks like. Justin Rose set the tone with a rare wire-to-wire performance on the PGA Tour — the kind of win that isn't about riding momentum, but about creating it early and protecting it with discipline. From the opening round onward, it was fairways first, precise iron windows, and a pre-shot routine that never changed, regardless of scoreboards or pressure. The details didn't fade as the week went on — they sharpened.On the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda showed how quickly form can turn when process leads. Her charge wasn't built on forcing birdies, but on recommitting to her decisions — picking the right shots, swinging with conviction, and trusting her routine when the momentum of the tournament shifted. It was patience paired with intent.Across the globe, the same theme repeated itself. Both the DP World Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour crowned first-time winners — players who didn't chase perfection or rely on hero moments. They managed misses, stayed inside their plans, and let consistency do the heavy lifting over four demanding days.This episode unpacks the weekend of golf to show why detail matters — in preparation, decision-making, and especially in pre-shot routines. At every level, improvement doesn't come from doing more. It comes from doing the small things on purpose, over and over again.Be detailed.Own Your SSWING.And let the results take care of themselves.Shop SSWING Swag

In golf, progress is rarely decided by the hardest swing or the boldest shot — it's decided by the choice you make when the moment demands restraint. This past weekend's PGA and DP World Tour results reinforced a simple truth: the players who keep moving forward aren't chasing moments — they're choosing wisely.In this week's episode, we explore the Improvement Pivot Point that shows up under real pressure: choosing the right shot in the right moment. From managing risk to fully committing once a decision is made, this episode breaks down how elite players simplify when it matters most — and why restraint so often leads to better outcomes than aggression.We look at what the leaderboard doesn't always show:How smart choices prevent big numbersWhy patience creates separation over four roundsWhere everyday golfers lose shots by chasing instead of choosingHow to apply this mindset to practice, putting, and on-course decision-makingThis isn't about playing safe — it's about playing clear. Improvement doesn't come from doing more. It comes from choosing better, when it matters most.Note: This episode was recorded prior to the news of Patrick Reed's departure from LIV Golf.Shop SSWING Swag

In today's golf landscape, clarity matters more than ever. Opportunities reward those who are prepared — and pressure shows up earlier in the journey.In this week's episode, we explore why clarity — not comfort — is becoming the true competitive advantage in professional golf and everyday improvement. Following last week's conversation with Julian Sanchez, this episode examines what separates those who continue to move forward when conditions get uncomfortable — and why the best performers simplify, not complicate, under pressure.We bring the conversation into practice by looking at how Scott applies clarity to putting — prioritizing face control and distance assignment over feel or confidence.This episode unpacks how pressure exposes preparation — and why improvement doesn't come from feeling ready, but from being clear.Shop SSWING Swag

In this episode of Pivot The Path, we sit down with Julian Sanchez—who lost his sight at age nine due to a rare disease, yet never lost his vision for what was possible. Today, Julian works at one of the world's top banks, navigates life and career with intention, and is a proud member of the SSWING community.Julian is a successful multi-organ transplant recipient and lymphoma survivor. He faced life-threatening health challenges from an early age, including a kidney transplant from his mother, complications that led to vision loss at nine, and a lymphoma diagnosis as a young adult. Through every curveball, Julian chose to Pivot The Path—and today, he is fighting fit, healthy, and living life fully, always chasing that first hole-in-one.At SSWING, Scott works closely with Julian on foundational elements of the game—building a grip and setup that promote a consistently square clubface at impact, along with simple, repeatable fundamentals that prioritize feel, clarity, and trust in movement. It's a practical expression of the Own Your SSWING philosophy—meeting the golfer where they are and building confidence through clarity and process.This conversation explores resilience, adaptability, process, discipline, and redefining what it truly means to “see” opportunity. Julian's story is a powerful reminder that limits don't define us—our response does.Mentions in this episode:No Days Off WaterPhoebe StuartMeta GlassesUneekorShop SSWING Swag

What does it actually take to become a better golfer in 2026?In Episode 106 of Pivot The Path, we step away from quick fixes and focus on what truly drives lasting improvement: clarity, connection, and consistency. As golf continues to evolve — from technology and data to training methods and expectations — the golfers who improve are the ones who understand what to train, why they're training it, and how it connects to performance on the course.This episode introduces a no off-season framework built around movement quality, measurable benchmarks and purposeful practice. We break down why clarity beats information overload, how connection between the body and the golf swing creates repeatable results, and why consistency — not intensity — is the real separator over time.Whether you're a dedicated golfer training through the winter, a busy professional trying to practice smarter, or someone ready to stop guessing and start improving, this episode lays out a clear path forward.Better golf in 2026 isn't about doing more.It's about doing the right things — with intention.Own Your SSWING.Shop SSWING Swag

In this week's episode, we keep building off the Break 75 Blueprint — the framework helping everyday golfers tighten their scoring, eliminate wasted shots, and build consistency through smarter strategy and purposeful reps. We break down how small refinements in how you practice can create massive gains in how you play.Our Improvement Pivot Point is Practice With Intent — the difference between simply hitting balls and actually training movements that transfer to the course. When your reps have a purpose, a target, and a defined movement focus, you build repeatability. When they don't, you just add noise to your pattern.We also dive into Rasmus Neergaard Petersen's win on the DP World Tour — a massive milestone for one of Europe's brightest rising stars. His week was a blueprint in itself: disciplined preparation, a clear game plan, and unwavering intent behind every shot. There's a lot golfers can learn from the way he structures his performance and earns his first DP World Tour victory.And finally, a blend of performance takeaways — from how the best players shape purposeful practice to how everyday golfers can adopt the same mindset. This is your weekly reminder that improvement is built on clarity, strategy, and reps that actually mean something. That is how you truly Own Your SSWING.Mentions in this episode:The Putting ThingShop SSWING Swag

Ever feel like you're close to breaking 75, but can't quite put all the pieces together?In this episode, Scott reveals the five non-negotiable elements that separate hopeful ball-strikers from consistent scorers: a reliable pre-shot routine, precise alignment, equipment understanding, the ability to shape the ball both ways, and intentional practice. These aren't just skills — they are the foundation of learning your tendencies, refining your patterns, and ultimately developing the clarity and control required to perform with ownership and confidence.When you build a repeatable routine, you gain control under pressure. When your alignment is precise, you eliminate guesswork. When your equipment matches your movement, your swing works with you, not against you. When you can shape the ball both directions, you gain strategic freedom instead of relying on luck. And when you practice with intent, every rep has purpose and produces progress instead of plateaus.Master these five and performance becomes predictable, confident, and repeatable — the true path to Own Your SSWING. You don't need more grinding time… just the right framework.Shop SSWING Swag

This week on Pivot The Path, we circle back to where it all begins — the body. We know the body holds the club, the club hits the ball and so it makes sense to us to start at the beginning. Building on recent episodes about efficiency, connection and athletic preparation, Scott discusses the four movement pillars that create a consistent, powerful golf swing.Just like the athletes we've highlighted — from Jason Kelce's stability and control in the NFL to the lower-body power and rotational sequence driving baseball's World Series hitters — elite performance starts with building the right body for the sport. Golf is no different.These four pillars connect movement, mindset and mechanics — the reminder that every great swing starts with how your body moves. Master these, and you'll find your rhythm, power and confidence on every shot.Because before you can Own Your SSWING, you have to Master Your Movement.Shop SSWING Swag

In this week's episode, Scott takes a deep dive into what it really means to build a golf swing you can trust — one that's reliable, efficient and uniquely your own.Drawing on listener input and questions, he unpacks how different approaches to learning and improving can be both refreshing and revealing. The discussion explores the “why” behind SSWING's vision — a truly holistic view of golf that connects the dots between movement, mechanics, mindset, and math.At SSWING, every element works together. When you understand how the pieces fit, you don't just play better — you Own Your SSWING.Shop SSWING Swag

What are the parallels between an NFL player and your average golfer? More than you might think. Recently, NFL legend Jason Kelce asked himself a simple question: Could I still complete an NFL workout now that I'm retired? The result was a humbling reminder that even elite athletes lose strength, speed and capability if they stop training for the demands of their sport.And the truth is, the same principle applies to you and your golf game. If you want to generate rotational power, control the clubface, maintain mobility and swing consistently, you have to train those physical capabilities with purpose. Your body adapts to what you do most often — stop challenging it, and it stops being ready to perform.“Use it or lose it” isn't just a phrase — it's physiology. And if you're serious about improving, staying strong and playing your best golf for years to come, that commitment to consistent movement, strength, and intention is how you truly Own Your SSWING.Mentions in this episode:Can Jason Kelce still do an NFL workoutScott Young with the NYU Golf Lab on ABC NewsShop SSWING Swag
