In this solo episode of the Wicked Smart Golf podcast, I'm answering 10 questions submitted by golfers ranging from a 5 to 21 handicap. We're covering everything from golf fitness and equipment fitting to putting confidence, driving accuracy, course management, and the mental game.
I'll also share some personal insights from my journey to becoming a plus-handicap golfer, including the biggest challenges I've faced, what's helped me improve the most, and my long-term goals in competitive golf.
In this episode, you'll learn:
My weekly golf fitness routine to build strength, speed, and mobility.
How to improve your game when you're juggling work, family, and limited practice time.
When it's worth investing in a professional club fitting (especially if your clubs are 10+ years old).
How to improve your putting confidence and develop a stronger mental approach on the greens.
What it takes to turn your driver into a weapon instead of a liability.
Why you hit it great on the range or simulator but struggle to take that game to the course.
How to stay present during a great round instead of obsessing over your potential score.
The single biggest factor that's helped my golf game outside of gaining distance.
The hardest part of lowering my handicap and what I learned along the way.
My ultimate golf goals, what's holding me back, and what I'm working toward over the next five years.
Whether you're trying to break 90, break 80, or become a scratch golfer, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you practice smarter, think better, and shoot lower scores without overhauling your swing.
