Most golfers think they're practicing… but they're really just exercising their bad habits.

They hit the same shots, to the same targets, with no plan, no feedback, and no real improvement. Then they wonder why the results don't show up on the course.

The truth is, practice is where consistency is built—or destroyed. If you don't have a system for how you practice, you'll never reach your potential.

In this episode, I break down the five types of practice that separate average golfers from elite performers. This is the same framework I've used for over 20 years of competing and coaching, and it's one of the most valuable concepts in Wicked Smart Golf II.

You'll learn:

• The difference between practice that builds skill and practice that wastes time

• Why the best players in the world rely on structured block practice

• How to add variety, pressure, and competition to simulate on-course conditions

• The role of your pre-shot routine and why it's the real key to transferring your range game to the course

• How to make meaningful progress—even without a launch monitor or simulator this winter

Whether you're training for next season or just trying to make your practice time more effective, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to work smarter and see real results.
