Scott Cowx - A swing architect's perspective.
My guest this week is Scott Cowx, one of the smartest people in world golf instruction and indeed in golf coach education.
Scott has long been associated with dissecting a golf swing pattern into moving parts to illustrate their cause and effect and then putting it all back together again akin to how a top mechanic might reconstruct an engine. His stable of players if full of carefully orchestrated and labelled clubface deliveries similar to the presentations and research he so clinically delivers in education seminars and his own education programs.
Now the information comes thick and fast early on in this podcast. From Scotts very first answer you get an insight into how he sees the golf swing and the meshing of biomechanics and club movement with some sneak mentions of future projects…Scott delphs into his early years of finding his educational path and discusses his affinity for creating nuanced drills, like spoon and hell, that lead his players to differing movement patterns.
In the second half of the Podcast Scott discusses his influence from the legend Mac O' Grady and how macs work and others was similar to standing on shoulders of giants in allowing him to explore and build on the work they created..
We talk about hackmotion and how he creates the presentations that blow all our minds and lastly we get chatting about the Cowxcertified brand, its origin , the responsibility of education other coaches and what's in store for the future…
A friend , a mentor and an incredibly smart individual ….Scott Cowx
