Scott Blandford, CEO and co-founder of PreSwing Golf, joins the Phoenix Business Brief podcast to discuss how his company is changing the game for everyday golfers.

Blandford explains that PreSwing Golf is not about replacing professional instructors but rather reinforcing lessons and cultivating a positive mindset through audio cues. He details the app's features, including personalized tips from pros like Smylie Kaufman, technical advice from top teachers, caddy insights, and the unique "My Voice" option for self-recorded cues.

Blandford highlights the power of audible reinforcement over visual learning in high-pressure golf situations and unveils the app's AI-driven hole recaps, which provide tailored recommendations based on past performance.
