  EP 139: Medinah Magic, Admiring Gotterup & an 8-Year-Old's Hot Take

  Sep 30, 202624 min

  The Presidents Cup delivered one of the wildest final days in years — down 10.5 to 7.5 heading into Sunday singles, the U.S. stormed back at Medinah to retain the Cup. Scott breaks down the comeback and why Chris Gotterup deserves a hard look this week — not because you should copy his swing, but because you should admire his brute strength, timing and athleticism. Gotterup's move is unorthodox by any textbook standard — super strong grip, cupped wrist and open face at the top, a downswing start most coaches would never teach — and it works because it's built entirely around what his body does well. So this one is definitely an Admire, not emulate. Then a very special guest joins the show: Scott's 8-year-old son Colton, who spent Sunday at SSWING watching the Cup and getting in a few hours of reps. Colton hops on the mic with a golf tip of his own — and it's a good one — explaining why real power comes from your hips, not your shoulders. Out of the mouths of babes.

  EP 138: Why JJ Spaun's Rotation Is Worth Emulating

  Sep 23, 202626 min

  We start this episode with the week's winners. On the Korn Ferry Tour, Scotland's Sandy Scott erased a four-shot deficit with a final-round 65 to win the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship at 18-under, earning his 2027 PGA Tour card. On the PGA Tour, Jacob Bridgeman rallied from five shots back with a career-best 61 to win the inaugural Biltmore Championship Asheville by two, his second win of 2026. And on the DP World Tour, JJ Spaun won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth in his first attempt at the tour's flagship event, making four birdies in his last five holes to win by two shots. That brings us to Spaun's golf swing, and why it's a model worth studying. The philosophy is simple: when you rotate well through the left side, the clubface doesn't have to do much, and that makes the ball so much easier to control. Scotty breaks down how Spaun's thoracic mobility and hip mobility work together to create that stable, repeatable rotation, and what amateur golfers can learn from it to simplify their own swing and gain more control.

  EP 137: Calm in the Corner: The Quiet Side of Improvement

  Sep 16, 202630 min

  Our improvement pivot this week comes from the tennis world and the US Open men's final. Ben Shelton didn't win on Sunday — Zverev took it in four — but if you were watching the box, you saw the real story. Bryan Shelton, Ben's dad and coach, sat through two weeks of 3 a.m. finishes, a five-set war with Alcaraz, and a final that slipped away, and never changed his face. No panic, no theatrics. Just steady, pragmatic presence. We discuss why the people around you (and the voice in your own head) matter as much as your mechanics. Then on to the golf recap: Shane Lowry won the Amgen Irish Open 17 years after winning it for the first time, pulling away for a seventh-career DP World Tour win in an 11-shot rout over Joaquin Niemann and Patrick Reed — including a course-record 62 at Doonbeg. Over in the Netherlands, Europe reclaimed the Solheim Cup, 15-12. On the Korn Ferry Tour, Alvaro Ortiz shot 26-under to win the Simmons Bank Open in Franklin, Tennessee, with a 61 in round two. Admire & Emulate: Shane Lowry. We're choosing to sit back and “admire” Lowry's swing this week, not one to emulate — we know that muscles respond to joint positions and like a few other quirky swings that work on tour, his curved lower spine sets the tone for a lift going back, a face that opens and arms that take over coming into and through impact…… when timing is on, he can lead by 11, but when those hands and timing is not quite on, the moving parts at times can get out of sink and cause the ball to not behave as desired….. but that is where attitude, self belief and patience step up to the plate. Sound familiar? Steady, pragmatic, no theatrics — Bryan Shelton would approve.

  EP 136: Does Scottie Scheffler Have a Swing You Want to Copy?

  Sep 2, 202637 min

  Scottie Scheffler closed out the FedEx Cup at East Lake, rallying from three back with a final-round 66 for his second FedEx Cup title and 22nd PGA Tour win. This week Scott breaks down what actually separates Scheffler from the rest of the tour — it's not the longest swing or the prettiest one, it's what happens between his ears when the tournament's on the line. Scott gets into the nervous system side of it: sympathetic vs. parasympathetic response, and why a golfer who can stay regulated over a shot has a real physiological edge when everyone else's nerves are spiking. Scheffler hits it a mile, but that's not the superpower — the short game and the calm are. Then it's on to Admire or Emulate : Scheffler's swing is quirky — a little armsy, far from textbook — with real ankle mobility off-setting his tight hips. Scott makes the case for why "hit it like Scottie" is the wrong takeaway, and why the calm and the short game are what's actually worth chasing. Plus, on the DP World Tour: Joe Dean, a 32-year-old former grocery delivery driver ranked 292nd in the world, comes from seven shots back with 11 birdies in his final 24 holes to win the Husqvarna British Masters. Two wildly different stories, one theme — golf rewards whoever can stay in the moment on Sunday.

  EP 135: How Clark Won the BMW — Breaking Down a Champion's Swing

  Aug 26, 202627 min

  This week on the pod, we're breaking down one of the gutsiest closes we've seen all year — Wyndham Clark held off Rory McIlroy at the BMW Championship, giving back a five-shot lead before closing with three straight birdies to win by three. Third win of his season, plus the U.S. Open, and he's punched his ticket to the Presidents Cup team. From there, we're kicking off a brand new segment: Emulate or Admire . Each week we'll break down a PGA Tour victor's swing — not to copy it move-for-move, but to pull out the pieces worth studying and why they work. First up: Wyndham Clark. We're getting into his tempo, his lower-body sequencing, and what let him repeat his swing under pressure even after a rocky start Sunday — because that's the biomechanics story here as much as it is the golf story. Plus — a quick shoutout to Scott Jamieson's win at the Nexo Championship, his first DP World Tour title in almost 14 years, and closer to home, the U18 Australian women's water polo team who beat Spain in the final to become world champions — way to go Team Cooke! As always, it all comes back to this: golf improvement is tied to how you move. Own Your SSWING.
