Wicked Smart Golf

Decade Golf is one of the most effective golf apps I've ever used. In this podcast episode, I'll take you through five course management tips I've learned from the program to help you play better every time you tee it up.

We'll cover:

• Why you should only play one shot shape
• The impact of body language on your game
• How to get out of trouble and not waste shots
• Why firing at the pin is a bad idea (most of the time)
• If the key to lower scores is about making more birdies or avoiding bogeys

And a lot more. Scott Fawcett, the creator of Decades Golf, made a truly amazing program that I can't recommend enough. If you're serious about your golf game, this product can help you more than you thought possible.

Cameron Strachan used to work with Aaron Baddeley and helped him become a top putter on the PGA Tour. In this epic interview, he shares the secrets to putting using natural learning and tapping into your subconscious mind. As he said, "If you can throw a baseball, you can become a great putter."

But if you're like most golfers, you know that putting can feel difficult... until today. When you listen to this epic golf podcast, I am confident you will have the tools to become a better overnight.

I used his Look and Shoot Putting method in 2021 and dropped more than three shots per round! I've never felt more confident with my putter and have Cameron to thank for it.

In this interview, we go into:

• The look and shoot method
• Why you should practice putting LESS
• Why most everyday golfers struggle with putting
• Understanding the conscious vs. subconscious mind
• How to use "natural learning" to become a great putter overnight

If you're like most players, you probably think to break 80 and shoot in the 70s you need to hit a lot of great shots. But in this episode, I'm going to debunk this common myth so you can start shooting lower scores - fast!

Ben Hogan said he normally only hits 5 or 6 "great" shots per round. Yet, he was one of the best ballstrikers of all time. Needless to say, you don't need to hit every shot perfect to play better golf. The sooner you remember there are no pictures on the scorecard, the sooner you can get over bad shots quickly and score well (even if your swing is off).

If you're like most golfers you probably wonder why you can't take your range game to the course? There's nothing more frustrating than being a "range player" and having your game disappear when you tee it up.

But the main reason this happens isn't because your lack of ability, it's because golf isn't like other sports. Golf is the one sport where you DON'T practice where you play. So you need to learn how to improve your practice sessions and make it feel like you're on the golf course.

Then, when you play golf with friends or even compete in a tournament, your game will transfer to the scorecard. In this episode, I'll teach you five ways to take your driving range game to the golf course.

Your self-talk has a huge impact on your overall score and how much fun you have on a given round.

Yet, so many golfers say the worst things possible to themselves, thinking that being a harsh critic of their game will somehow make them a better player. Heck, I've done it too and it's easy to do... but it's not helping your game. In fact, it's hurting your game and holding you back from playing your best golf.

In this episode, learn why self-talk is so important and three easy to implement strategies to start playing better golf and speaking to yourself like a champion.

AimPoint Golf - is this the best way to read greens and make more putts? Or, is it total BS hype?

In this episode, I break down my thoughts of AimPoint Golf (also known as AimPoint Express) as it's becoming more and more popular on the PGA Tour. But for the casual golfer, seeing a player straddle a golf ball and hold up a few fingers while looking at the hole is kind of confusing.

I'll simplify this process and let you know how to get started if you need help reading greens. You will also learn more about the Look and Shoot method and see how it compares to AimPoint.

Your pre-shot routine is one of the most important parts of your golf game! Yet, most people don't even have a pre-shot routine and wonder why they can't take their range game to the golf course.

If you watch elite golfers, it's one of the few things they have in common. It's not just them either, it's other professional sports like NBA players at the free throw line and NFL players kicking field goals.

A pre-shot routine will help you calm your nerves on the golf course, build confidence, and most importantly, learn how to get in the zone.

In this episode, I'll teach you how to start a pre-shot routine and the best ways to make it part of your game to play your best golf ever.
