2022/11/11

Today's 5-minute Friday episode will help you have more looks at birdies! If you want to have more birdie putts every round, you need to club up on approach shots. Otherwise, you risk ending up short in the worst spot (and more bogeys). Think about it, most trouble is in front of the greens (bunkers, deep rough, water etc.). Plus, most golfers take a club that they need to hit perfect (which doesn't happen often, even for scratch golfers). By taking more club you are giving yourself more birdie

Wicked Smart Golf ·

2022/10/28

Welcome to 5-minute Friday! Today's topics - locating your landing zone. When you miss the green and are chipping or pitching, you need a target, just like you do with full shots. I like to think of this as your landing zone; this is where you want the ball to land once it hits the green. It will change every time based on the shot, green conditions, break of the green, and more. Your landing spot gives your mind something to focus on. Just like the full swing, you want to paint a clear picture of

Tiger is the GOAT thanks to his 82 wins, 15 majors, and incredible records like making 142 consecutive cuts in a row (or winning a US Open by 15 shots). While his swing and short game are amazing, it's his course management (aka playing wicked smaaahhhht) that doesn't get enough credit! If you want to start scoring better every single round, you need to think like Tiger.

Subscribe to Wicked Smart Golf on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGt1yzKR05YpqipoLVkr5yw Golf is hard enough - don't make it even harder by playing the wrong equipment. While most of us focus on the clubheads and finding the right grips, we settle on shafts. But here's the problem, most golfers try to swing a stiff or X-stiff flex shaft when they should play a regular or stiff shaft. When you swing a shaft that is too stiff you kill distance, make it easy to slice the ball, and your

2022/09/27

Speed is KING in golf. Don't get me wrong, short game (specifically putting) is imperative to great golf but you need distance too. For every extra MPH of swing speed you create with a driver equals 3 more yards of total distance. If you add 5-10 MPH to your driver swing in the offseason that 15 to 30 yards more distance. How much easier would every par 4 or 5 be if you were that much closer to the green? A longer drive means shorter approach shots and typically lower scores. Plus, who doesn't like
