In this "Wicked Smart Game Plan" coaching episode, Michael Leonard breaks down Clint ( a podcast listener's) current game and provides actionable strategies to help him overcome his current hurdles and reach scratch golf or better.
We'll discuss:
-
Overcoming Tee-Shot "Scar Tissue": Strategies for eliminating indecision and anxiety when navigating tight landing zones, doglegs, and hazard-lined holes.
-
Building Trust Off the Tee: Using positive visualization, past successful shots, and off-course reflection to execute drives with 100% commitment.
-
Unlocking Putting Consistency: How implementing a metronome (68–78 bpm) and a larger setup mirror can dramatically improve tempo, start lines, and speed control.
-
Conservative vs. Aggressive Play: Finding the balance between taking calculated risks and smart course management—plus why avoiding greenside bunkers is critical to protecting your score.
-
Eliminating "Sloppy Bogeys": Utilizing formal strokes-gained tracking to pinpoint weak approach distances and staying locked into pre-shot routines on short wedge shots
And more mental golf tips.
