Learning How to Think on the Golf Course | Fixing Frankie Episode 2

After a very successful episode with mental game coach Dr. Bhrett McCabe, we took his advice to go see Scott Fawcett and change the way we maneuver around a golf course. Scott gives us A LOT of information, but it is all super helpful, we hope it helps you too!

Please keep these going…a Frankie to Scratch series would be premium content and no matter how long it takes I’m here for it 🙌🏽

[@justinphillips5564]

This is the content we love. Between Frankie and Trent trying to Break 90. This is why we’re all here.

[@gbone2636]

Fixing Frankie is way more enjoyable than Break 90. Frankie actually has clearly worked on what he has been taught, and is the model of what is achievable with the right direction. I love Trent, but that man needs to practice more, including the fitness aspect, which just hasn't happened.

[@TickleNation]

Yup

[@Scheboygan8767]

@@gbone2636 the views would say otherwise, big time. Only times these guys break 100k views is when lurch is on, they realized their mistake letting him go. And when they have a famous golfer in a video.

[@michaelalariojr5219]

This is great. Wish Trent cared 1% of this he might actually practice or take advantage of the insane hook ups he gets that anyone who actually cares would take up.

[@donaldplumley5350]

@@gbone2636 i agree, but they also need to not put trent on PGA level greens. take him out to a normal course.

[@tjdalyiv]

THIS is the stuff nobody else in the golf pod universe is offering, and that’s not even considering the tangible results Franklin actually realized. Cheers boys

[@tjdalyiv]

And I’ll add: nobody & I mean NOBODY has a bench talent equal to Mr. Borrelli haha.

[@GM2401]

The Sweet Spot podcast talks about a HEAP of course management, golf psych, expectation management, etc. check it out 😃

[@GM2401]

Also “The Four Foundations of Golf” by the same guys on the podcast is easily the best book about how to manage everything outside the golf swing (which there’s 1000’s of books about) - really excellent expectation management and increased my enjoyment immensely

[@johnbennett1162]

Hack It Out podcast is much better providing this type of content

[@ph1lthyvision]

Haha, Hack it out podcast, formerly featuring one Scott Fawcet

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Frankie is an editor , producer, director, and a star.. very talented

[@colekempinski5818]

Scott is fantastic, I have had the pleasure of practicing with him a few times and the guy knows his stuff decade golf will change anyones game

[@petecedor2852]

Scott's system helps with one thing that is really helpful and really important to making good swings, commitment to the shot. You go through all the analysis and decide on the right club it is easier to hit it with confidence and know it is going to be a reasonable result.

[@T4LL3N]

Thanks Frankie, for fixing all of us. I’ll be tuning in every episode. You really struck a nerve in the community and I can safely speak for all of us that this is exactly what we needed and wanted. Cheers bud, if you boys find yourself in Maine I got your tee times

[@4thand133]

Much as I love Breaking 90 and am pulling for Trent... this may be the best series you've ever done. I think every golfer can relate to the stuff Frankie does on the course, and had the same light bulb moments when Scott talks about strategy. The venn diagram stuff with the approach shots was absolute gold.

[@kylepickett91]

More of this! Waaaaay less of pies in the face like some click bait KZbin nonsense. Stick true to you! Love this video boys.

[@kylemay1302]

Insane knowledge here, as a high handicap this is unbelievably helpful. Nicely done, Frankie 💪🏼

[@mek90703]

Best video yet, Frankie! You got Scott to simplify Decade. Looking forward to putting with Trevor.

[@jerdo402]

Incredible content. Kudos to Scott and you for sharing. Thanks.

[@tomlarocque9220]

Gotta love Scott

[@Bendgolfguy]

i fucking love this channel. the snow can't melt fast enough. just hit the range in 34 degrees. BRRRRR

[@dangjerning3331]

Please keep these going Frankie. These are awesome.

[@onthemarc22]

Been waiting for this! Last one helped me develop a routine and improved my game!

[@andrewc232]

Great video really learned a lot. Also colonial springs is an absolute hidden gem

[@funwithaudio6026]

The amount of times you've seen Foreplay crew take out a 9iron and try to muscle it to the hole and fail, only to need to put the ego in the pocket and hit a smooth 7. Glad it finally clicked for Frankie.

[@TickleNation]

This Scott guy needs to be on more videos!

[@wyliea13]

One of the best videos that has been released, Frankie is going to be a 5 before we know it!!!

[@robertcourt8593]

Can listen to Scott all day!

[@sparkins1255]

So much good info, will have to watch a couple times to get it to sink in but excited to use this stuff on the course, Thank you

[@jcyoung325]

What a great episode! More of this from the Foreplay team please

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

Aiming at a target close to the ball had helped me a ton with driving AND putting.

[@rjdivis]

This is excellent content. Entertaining and incredibly informative. Frankie is putting in the work and it has shown

[@trevoratherton2223]

Absolutely amazing!! Editors need to speed up! We need more

[@bjones_39]

👌🏼

[@timfirnkes4811]

Very impressive information and outlook to n the game. Great series! On another note I absolutely love your putter! Keep up the great work!

[@donaldplumley5350]

so lessons learned; 1) aim for a small point a few feet in front of you that's in line with your target. 2) if you're not within 8 feet you can hit 24 feet out. you'll still be two-putting. 3) focus on keeping feet parallel 4) don't be a hero, hit the higher percentage shot. 5) Just don't make double 6) imagine it's raining on the green to read the line 7) hit the club that will cover most of the green. Don't be afraid to club down 8) be consistent in your placement of the ball and set up 9) learn to drive long

[@iiZAPPx]

Scott is a BLESSING to the Golf community. One generous dude. Anyone who talks bad on him really just up their own butt

[@joshuadriesbach4281]

a lot of this is really good but frankie learning how gravity works with putting is so funny lol

[@samc2649]

He’s playing dumb to be nice

[@2good4name]

*Frankie gets asked to count his scorecard* "Woah hold on there fella, you're gonna get me landed in hospital from brain exhaustion with all these math terms.". Never change Frankie.

[@tylerdavis9958]

Always something new to learn. Great episode

[@LemonJelly360]

This was absolutely exceptional. It is very easy to sit in our homes watching this and say “well yeah, that’s all obvious”, but most of us are doing the exact same things as Frankie on a weekly basis. I’ve taken a huge amount from this video, thank you.

[@errlydabbers]

this really made me want some warm weather golf.

[@japansnider]

Really good series. Well done

[@dwyattharris803]

Great content I could relate to every point he gave, thanks

[@victorebalasoto3523]

Good stuff! I learned a lot!

[@mattmcalary12]

Damn, unreal episode

[@JonasKFriedChicken]

Super cool of Frankie to show this stuff. We've all seen the absolutely massive progress he has had so far.

[@robmisseri9638]

Very valuable content - love it

[@justjoddat]

My entire motto is "don't be a hero" when I play. Sure it probably costs me once in a while, but the strokes it saves me are likely waaaay more.

[@peterandresen328]

This was amazing stuff thank you

[@liam9020]

Seems like a really good dude scott. Comes across a bit shit sometimes on Twitter but you can see he’s a genuine good guy here

[@scottfawcett3290]

I truly, no sarcasm at all, appreciate that. Been a long seven years as I’ve accidentally become an instructor and I’ve messed up plenty. But I hope most can see what I’m trying to do. ❤

[@davidphommavong8314]

Great tips!!!

[@matthewevans7012]

Thanks guys I finally broke 100 today thanks to you guys

[@Brandon-youtube]

Been following Scott for a long time, as much as a nut case he can be at times on Twitter he does have a lot of great information

[@scottfawcett3290]

lol...I'm looking at doing a few more things with Barstool so came to this video to see what the comments are like and this one got a solid chuckle! Thank god I'm off Twitter!

[@Brandon-youtube]

@@scottfawcett3290 stay away from the comments

[@zackbarkalow4929]

Quote from 28:57...."If you cant drive it, you cant play." Riggs hooks into the woods on every driver chance he gets off the tee yet is still....somehow....someway...."a 3 handicap" he claims.

[@tonyperez8594]

I always pick a target about a foot in front of my ball. My aim and alignment was so terrible for many years. After i switched to aiming at an intermediate target about 8 years ago my scores dropped significantly.

[@ryajsmit]

This is an amazing video do more if you can

[@onthemarc22]

STAY TUNED FOR FIXING FRANKIE EPISODE 3: COMING CHRISTMAS 2023. 🎄 I kid.

[@connormccormick5932]

Love this series!

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

When is another Trent Daddy episode?

[@livinginorangevilleontario4246]

Out of all the thousands of swing videos and lessons on KZbin, in my opinion, this is by the best video that can help all of us

[@gbone2636]

Jordan Spieth would give Scott a brain aneurysm trying to pull off the hero shot constantly. That's also why we love him though.

[@jbo8546]

This is great for the low 90 high 80 golfer

[@mattpetroff9270]

Happy for you Frankie.

[@Runtberg]

"I recognize that I am blowing your mind because I am so smart." -Scott

[@xBlade173]

This is great, now where is the next Trent vid?

[@Matthew-of9sp]

Golf is truly an assessment of how honestly you can evaluate your skills and how good those skills are.

[@zakmiranda31]

I needed this and I didn’t even know it. 🤯🤯

[@brozark1873]

More of this and the breaking series please, maybe include the other guys into a breaking series as well

[@andrewross955]

So we gave up on Trent breaking 90?

[@mwsports]

Different gravy. Sky’s the limit.

[@innoasuncion7628]

great episode! need more content like this

[@murp0443]

At 20:14, you probably shouldn’t even label it “soft 8” and “hard 7”. Well struck 7 and poorly struck 8 could be accurate more often.

[@Scrub_Jake]

This was great but for my preference the “epic” “inspirational” music was a little much lmao 🤣

[@craigjorgensen5895]

Perhaps it’s because I’ve played golf for forty years, occasionally at a relatively high level for an amateur, no concept in this video was new to me. I’m not sure how Frankie, or anyone who has played golf regularly, never heard of picking out an intermediate target a couple feet in front of the ball.

[@russwagner8805]

You give a pro a bad lie in a tournament round most of them inside are going crazy ... we all prefer easy golf but It's just not .. even what this guy is telling you is just a part of golf ... so much more ...

[@jaredshearsgolf]

Great as always out of Scott Fawcett. Next needs to be green reading with Mark Sweeney.

[@brent122]

Amazing episode and series so far! The next episode can't come soon enough!

[@jonthompson7708]

What’s he really teaching you Frankie?

[@omeradhia]

This is a fantastic upload .. thank you for sharing

[@markb8039]

It's the common mistake for amateur golfers. they rarely ever take enough club or airmail a green. Always club up

[@ryanvd7587]

Literally a year late-- but the type of content they do reinforces every bad habit because in scrambles there's no reason to try to hit to the pin on every shot because you have a teammate to back you up always

[@clr1125]

Where is episode 1? Link please? Really interesting video…thanks for posting!

[@tylersouthcott3359]

Pros dispersion with drive is 60 yards, no? how can you use that number for a standard amateur lol

[@shredderbarry]

Fuck this was epic

[@Liam___ohara___]

when is Riggs gonna do this series

[@peeweejim]

Love the Lord of the RIngs music that keeps appearing through the video

[@discoslimjim]

Venn diagram was backwards, yeah?

[@kevinconnolly754]

Back here a year later and Frankie's game has gotten ridiculously better

[@DriveFarGolf]

Watched this because of Scott and Decade, he always gives good info. Frankie comes across to me as one of those guys who hears but doesn't listen, as if he's always looking for the end of the rainbow but never wants to actually travel the road to get there. Kudos for the Freddie graphic on the wall though :)

[@bobjoye4195]

He’s right why waste it

[@Par2Pixel]

So glad I found this video I'm at a very similar position in my game and there were a lot of helpful tips here you gained a subscriber today and I appreciate you sharing this valuable information.

[@philo_beddoe4367]

Frankie should be playing from the whites too.

[@Weshopwizard]

Episode 1 really struck a nerve. I get in such a big goddamn hurry to fuck up when I’m out there. Working to get my game back and all this motivational stuff will help. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@Booth_]

I want that book that he is showing Frankie. Is that book part of your lesson that is tailored to you?

[@JS-jf7gv]

Could watch 2 hours of this content. This guy is speaking to the mid handicaps of the world. Always thinking wrong and trying to make the hero shot. After the round is over “Damn if it wasn’t for those 2 triples, that would have been a great round.”

[@picklenick9474]

Incredible stuff! Great work Frankie!! Been watching so much Scott Fawcett lately and this was the most informative one I've seen.

[@tocafish]

Netflix ads are making this almost unwatchable

[@snowexcuse1]

The pie video isn't shadow banned btw, I've had it suggested in my feed at least 6 times. It's just not interesting, and feels like cheap click bait. This is quality, keep it up.

[@drewmania6034]

The worst part about all of this is that Frankie’s actually starting to think he’s actually getting good at golf. When this guy told Frankie “you just don’t know how to play golf”, Frankie looked at him like he heard a fib.

[@joshbehehe]

Scott gives me major Sean Avery vibes

[@corynsboy5814]

The connections that BSS have in the golf world is astonishing. when you pair that with authentic characters like Frankie and Trent it makes the content engaging and speaks to the hope and fears of such a wide group of golfers. I used to be like Trent and I feel his pain and want to see him flourish as a better golfer. I want to be a Frankie so I'm all in on this journey too. Outstanding content.👍👍

[@aaronkymble5081]

Frankie, Lurch and Trent are the reason I watch foreplay golf. This series and Trent’s Breaking series are great. I would love to see those 3 and Danny as the 4 man scramble.

[@tylerpratt-if2nh]

This is a great video. I started taking advice from these types of videos when you Had harry Higgs on describing his field goal post methodology. It’s made a positive impact In my game, and I can’t wait to take some of the tools from this video to the course: awesome stuff, thank you for sharing.

[@bogie3462]

4 ads for full swing in a 30 minute video is a bit much

[@willth3thrill]

The whol3 3 ft =1 , 8ft = 1.5 and all the way to 32 for 2.0 is crazy to think about when you're talking strokes gained or lost

[@Golf_Hack]

I dare anyone to keep track of how many times you hit it short of the green and pin with your approach shots. Amateur golfers miss short something like 80% of the time because they under club. I guarantee you almost never fly the green long, but you always hear people say they don’t want to go long. Lol

[@watertouchesthesun]

Might be the best thing I’ve seen on barstool this year. Taking at least 4 things from this to the range later.
