The Masters is a beautiful reminder of just how much strategy, patience, and long-term focus goes into a great round of golf. Turns out, retirement works a lot like the game. Today, we’re teeing up a few key lessons from the course and how they translate into smarter planning for your financial future.

In part one of this special Masters series, Scott shares how staying disciplined, avoiding big mistakes, and using the full range of tools available to you—just like clubs in a golf bag—can lead to a more confident financial journey. Whether it’s chasing hot trends or getting overconfident after a “hole-in-one” moment, Scott walks through the behaviors that can throw a plan off course and how to avoid them.
