EPISODE NOTES
Today's guest is Robbie Fillmore, a putting coach who can help you stop 3-putting. At age three, Robbie survived a severe fire accident that left him with third-degree burns across 30% of his body. Doctors predicted he would never lift his right arm above parallel, but through intensive physical therapy, he defied the odds to begin golfing at age four, winning his first tournament at ten, and eventually building an elite golf career.
Robbie went on to play college golf at BYU—earning All-American honors and stroke play medalist distinction at the U.S. Amateur—before playing professionally and transitioning into instruction. Operating out of GilliGolf in Mesa, Arizona, Robbie helps golfers drop strokes through proper setup, putter fitting, and structured practice without making drastic swing overhauls.
And more putting wisdom.

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.

In this episode of Wicked Smart Golf, host Michael Leonard sits down with veteran professional golfer and elite player coach Skip Kendall. With nearly 40 years of experience across the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour, and Champions Tour—accumulating nearly $10 million in career earnings—Skip brings a masterclass in scoring consistency, mental toughness, and short-game execution.
Skip shares his incredible story of fighting back from dead last (180th place) after round one of PGA Tour Q-School to finish tied for 1st place. He breaks down how he survived the mini-tours while working late-night shifts as a waiter, and how he turned an underdog mindset into decades of success alongside golf's greatest legends.
During our conversation, you will learn:
The S.C.O.R.E. Mental System: Use Jim Fannon's framework (Self-discipline, Confidence, Optimism, Relaxation, Enjoyment) to evaluate and elevate your mindset after every round.
Hand-Grip Wedge Matrix: Dial in 10-yard distance increments by adjusting hand placement down the grip while keeping a consistent 9 o'clock swing.
Bunker Precision Tips: Improve sand contact by keeping the lower body quiet, preventing the trail knee from kicking in, and changing lofts for long shots.8
Setup & Putter Alignment Hacks: Control your face angle using an "access point" setup, and fix target alignment by closing your dominant eye.
Target Engagement On Putts: Avoid missing short putts by maintaining longer, multi-beat looks at the target during your pre-shot routine.
Smart Event Preparation: Avoid pre-tournament burnout by shifting focus toward rest, proper nutrition, and playing the course on the range.
Make sure to check out Skip's Sub70 wedges! You can also follow him on Instagram and watch his awesome YouTube videos.
