S12, Ep 50 Part 2: From Green to Tee: How Top 100 Teacher Scott Munroe Builds Better Golfers

In Part 2 of Episode 50, I’m joined by Scott Munroe, Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and one of the “Hoosiers” from the Two Hoosiers & a Hong crew. Scott is a longtime Teaching Professional at the ultra-exclusive Nantucket Golf Club in the summer. If you’ve ever wondered what golf looks like behind the gates of one of the most private clubs in the country, Scott takes us there. Nantucket has had members like Jack Welch and Bill Belichick, and the course was designed by our good friend Rees Jones, so the stories run deep.

Scott also shares how he develops junior players in a way that may surprise you — teaching them backwards, starting on the putting green and working out toward the tee. It’s a strategy we also heard from our friend Eva Rogers. Scott explains why it helps kids understand scoring, feel, and confidence faster than any launch monitor ever could.

We also talk about the unique culture among great coaches in golf: the freedom and willingness to share knowledge, not guard it. No “secret sauce.” No holding back. Just helping each other help more players enjoy the game.

And before we wrap, Scott gives us a few simple home drills to keep your swing loose and active during the colder months, so you don’t feel like you’re starting over when spring rolls back around.

It’s fun, insightful, and full of takeaways you can use right away. Scott is fantastic, you're going to love him.
