Transferring Your Skills

Why can you stripe it on the range but not when it matters? In this episode, we unpack the gap between practice and performance—and what it really takes to transfer skills from a controlled setting to the course. From Scott Fawcett’s DECADE framework to blackjack analogies, we dig into decision-making, judgment, and why context always matters.

We explore how conservative swings under pressure can backfire, why warmups aren’t fortune tellers, and the training principles—spacing, randomizing, experimenting with extremes—that create freedom when it counts. If you’ve ever walked off the range feeling ready, only to tighten up on the first tee, this one’s for you.
