What Is the 21-Day Putting Challenge?

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.

What You'll Get

• 🎥 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.

>>Try out the Kairo app (FREE)

In this episode of Wicked Smart Golf, host Michael Leonard interviews Jim Doorley, a PhD in clinical psychology and former sports psychologist for Team USA. Doorley is the primary psychologist behind Kairo, a groundbreaking AI-driven mental training and visualization app. Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

• The Power of Mind Programmability: How to consistently feed your brain the right inputs to prime yourself for automatic, successful execution under pressure.
• Scientific Benefits of Visualization: Why mental rehearsal physically rewires the brain's motor cortex and how it can be used to accelerate skill development and injury recovery.
• Process over Outcome Visualization: Why you should focus on controllable behaviors and mindsets rather than uncontrollable results like winning a tournament.
• The Synergy of Mental and Physical Training: How combining these two modalities yields significantly better results than physical practice alone.
• Managing Performance Anxiety: How to reframe stress as a tool for high performance and prevent negative thoughts from becoming "self-fulfilling prophecies".

And a lot more mental game tips to increase confidence and play better than ever. Plus, make sure to download the Kairo app today!
