Scott Fawcett- Founder, Decade Golf

Send us Fan MailWhat if the real edge in parenting is the same edge that wins on the course: a clear target, acceptance of misses, and total commitment to the next shot? We sit down with Decade Golf founder Scott Fawcett for an unfiltered conversation about fatherhood, emotional control, and the strategy mindset that turned a former hothead into a calmer competitor—and a dad still learning in real time.Scott opens up about growing up in Texas, finding golf as a lifeline, and how poker math and strokes gained data inspired Decade’s approach to target selection and decision-making. He breaks down how strategy reduces blowups, why most golfers feel they “should have scored lower,” and the simple framework that helps single‑digit players and aspiring competitors choose smarter shots under pressure. Along the way, he shares Augusta stories, PGA insights, and candid thoughts on who Decade helps the most.The heart of the episode lives at home. Scott talks co‑parenting through divorce and grief, the friction that comes with teenage brains, and why a praise‑to‑correction ratio is so hard to keep. We dig into device culture and dopamine loops, arguing for clear boundaries, late adoption, and tech‑limited spaces that protect attention. Then we pivot to solutions: meditation as the ultimate competitive advantage, Sam Harris’s Waking Up app, and curiosity‑driven “TED questions” (Tell me, Explain, Describe) that open real conversations with kids. It’s practical, compassionate, and honest about how often we fall short—and why showing up again matters most.If you’ve ever felt like you’re parenting without a yardage book, this is for you.
