Pivot The Path

This week on Pivot The Path, we take inspiration from the epic gold-medal win by the United States men's national ice hockey team — their first in 46 years — and explore what it teaches us about elite performance across all sports, especially golf.

From hockey to the fairways, the lesson is the same: championships aren’t built on highlight moments — they’re built on preparation, trust, and showing up when it matters.

We dive into why consistency isn’t a mindset — it’s a movement skill. Why elite players understand their miss before chasing their max. And how predictable...

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 swi...

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. W...

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 L...

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 whe...

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 fac...

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 diag...

What does it actually take to become a better golfer in 2026?

In Episode 106 of Pivot The Path, we 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 connec...

As we close out 2025, this episode of Pivot The Path is all about reflection, clarity, and momentum.

In Episode 105, we recap the five biggest golf improvement lessons from the past year — what actually helped golfers play better, move better, and think smarter on the course. From understanding movement and managing the golf IQ side of the game to building trust and consistency, these are the takeaways that truly moved the needle in 2025.

These are the lessons that helped golfers take ownership of their improvement — to truly Own Your SSWING — and carry that momentum into 2026.

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...

In this week’s episode, we get into another key piece of the Break 75 Blueprint: learning to shape the ball both ways.

Whether you’re aiming for a controlled fade or a confident draw, Scott breaks down the facts and simple physics and setup changes, creating correct process, eliminating guesswork.

Master this, and you’ll unlock a whole new level of course management and ball control. A game-changer for anyone serious about scoring and wanting to truly Own Your SSWING.

This week on Pivot The Path, we take you through the 8 essential powerful pre-shot routines — building from the introduction last week — and show you how they can steady your game, sharpen your mind, and take your performance to the next level.

From intention to alignment, breathing to visualization, tempo to commitment, we explore the routines that help golfers quiet the noise, build consistency, and step into every shot with confidence. If you’ve ever wondered what separates a scattered round from a steady one, this is your framework.

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 alignmen...

From Olympic rower to new golfer, Nareg Guregian knows what it means to chase mastery.

In this milestone 100th episode of Pivot The Path, we explore the transition from rowing to golf — the rhythm, the mechanics, and how elite athletes approach learning something entirely new.

Whether you’re an Olympian or an everyday player, this conversation is about movement, mindset and the power of starting again. Nareg takes us through his incredible journey — from the early days of rowing to standing on the world’s biggest stage, to defeating cancer, and now embracing a whole new chal...

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...

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 — yo...

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 th...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most important — yet often misunderstood — parts of the game: face strike. From swing path and lie angle to shaft flex, weight distribution and even how your body moves through impact, every small detail plays a role in how the club face meets the ball. And here’s the truth — there’s no single “magic fix.” Great ball control isn’t about one swing thought or one equipment tweak; it’s about understanding how all these elements work together to create consistent, predictable results.

The key is always to fix the root probl...

In this episode, we unpack one of the most important skills in golf: ball control. Mastering your ball flight isn’t about perfection—it’s about setting realistic goals, managing expectations and learning how to practice with purpose. Good process leads to good scoring, and with the help of camera-based simulators, you can see, adjust and refine in real time. This is where golfers learn not just to hit shots, but to Own Your SSWING—taking control, trusting the work and building confidence one session at a time.

Scott shares practical insights on how smarter practice—not endless re...

This week’s episode dives into the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black—a stage where pride, teamwork, and resilience shine brighter than individual glory. The drama, the pressure, and the unity on display felt reminiscent of the ANZAC spirit: mateship, courage, endurance, and sacrifice for the greater collective. Just as ANZAC embodies the power of individuals coming together for something bigger than themselves, the Ryder Cup shows golf at its most communal, where every shot isn’t just for the player, but for the team, the country, and the history books. 

And perhaps no moment captured that spirit...

In this week’s episode, we dig into one of the most important questions for any golfer: what truly measures improvement? Data is the foundation of progress, and training indoors is essential for uncovering the core of your improvement journey. Camera-measured feedback remains the gold standard—giving golfers the ability to track consistency, ball flight control, and the real indicators that your game is moving forward. We also break down the standout performances from fall golf’s biggest stages this past weekend.

At SSWING, we rely on Uneekor’s ceiling-mounted camera system for unmatched precision - face angle an...
