Kevin, a 2.7 handicap golfer from Prince Edward Island, Canada, joins the podcast to discuss his journey from picking up the game in 2017 to shooting a personal best of 68 in 2025. Despite a short playing season, Kevin utilizes technology like Trackman and ChatGPT to analyze his stats, aiming to reach a plus handicap before his first child arrives.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How Kevin used ChatGPT to analyze his strokes gained, Trackman data, and scoring averages to identify the "low-hanging fruit" in his game.
• Why "choking down" on a standard driver might actually lead to longer, more centered drives than a longer shaft.
• A deep dive into why Kevin looks at the hole rather than the ball for long putts and whether this inconsistency is hurting his short-game performance.
• Strategies for conquering the 5-handicap level putting Kevin currently experiences from inside 12 feet, including green reading and visualization techniques.
• Balancing the "Stack" speed training protocol with gym work and mobility, especially when "feeling sluggish".
• Mental hacks for committing to aggressive shots on narrow, tree-lined courses where "guiding the ball" is a recipe for disaster.
• The importance of a consistent pre-shot routine, including breathing exercises and finding targets to stay present under pressure

Josh, a 33-year-old former college baseball player and new father living in Iowa, joins the podcast to discuss his goal of returning to a scratch handicap after his game drifted to a 7. Despite limited time, Josh has built a high-quality home simulator setup in his garage to practice year-round.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How Josh utilizes a Bushnell Launch Pro and a garage simulator to maintain his swing while balancing the demands of being a new parent.
• Why identifying a "wedge matrix" and focusing on scoring from 150 yards and in is the primary focus for lowering his handicap.

• How to apply the "3P approach" (finding three positives) to reset mentally after a poor shot and avoid lingering frustration.
• The importance of consistent rehearsal swings at 75-85% effort to align the brain and body before stepping over a shot.
• Strategies for chunking a round into three-hole segments to maintain focus and manage expectations throughout 18 holes.
• A comparison of speed training tools like the Rypstick and HITS, and how to integrate them with functional fitness and compound lifting.
• How to use tools like Rotex for mobility and warming up properly to ensure the body is ready for high-speed swings.

This isn't just another random putting PDF or a few drills thrown together. It's a guided 21-day experience designed to help you:

• Eliminate costly 3-putts
• Improve speed control
• Build confidence inside 6 feet
• Develop a repeatable putting routine
• Practice with structure and purpose

Over the course of one month, you'll train smarter, improve your mental game on the greens, and learn the exact routines, drills, and strategies I've used in tournament golf and coaching.

Because here's the truth:

Putting has nothing to do with having a "perfect" stroke.

It's about confidence, commitment, speed control, and preparation.

And the golfers who improve the fastest are usually the ones who finally start practicing with intention instead of randomly rolling putts before rounds.

The best part?

You don't need hours per day to improve. Small reps done consistently can completely change your confidence on the greens.

• 🎥 Confident Putting System (3 Hour Video Training Program) Get instant access to my complete system with 25 bite-sized videos. We'll cover mindset, green reading, tempo, routines, practice strategies, and how to become a clutch putter under pressure.

• 📝 20 Putting Practice Plans Never waste time at the putting green again. Whether you have 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, follow these wicked smart plans to practice like a pro. You can print them out or view them on the Wicked Smart Golf app.

• 📘 15-Page Putting Guide + Checklists A simple guide packed with putting strategies, routines, drills, and mental game concepts from my Wicked Smart Golf system.

• 📧 Accountability Emails & Check-Ins Stay motivated throughout the challenge with emails featuring drills, mindset hacks, practic ideas, drills, and ways to stop 3-putting.

• 🎧 FAST ACTION BONUS: Wicked Smart Golf Audiobook (Available for 48 Hours) Continue improving your mental game and scoring mindset both on and off the course with a Wicked Smart Golf book of your choice.
