Description

Your pre-shot routine (or lack thereof) is costing you 3–5 strokes every round and I'll prove it in this episode.  Think about it, pre-shot routines are part of sports; NFL kickers have one when they line up for a field goal and basketball players at the free-throw line. Each player develops their own pre-shot routine to stay focused and feel confident. The same goes with golf.  Helen Alfredsson described the importance of a pre-shot routine in the book A Good Swing Is Hard to Find. She stated, “A pre-shot routine helps you build a cocoon around yourself. This is the mysterious zone that athletes refer to longingly. But there's nothing mysterious about it.” A pre-shot routine is one of the few things you can control. It will help you analyze the shot, stay calm, improve pace of play, and transfer your range game to the golf course.  In today's episode we cover the European Tour study that tracked 20,000+ shots and shows why ALL golfers need a pre-shot routine. You'll learn: Why you need a faster routine How every type of golfer can benefit from a set of pre-shot rituals How a routine can give you a 90% better chance to make short putts  And so much more.  Click the link to learn how to create your own routine (and avoid the most common mistakes) now: https://www.wickedsmartgolf.com/routine

Welcome to Wicked Smart Golf - hosted by Michael Leonard. This golf podcast will help you shoot lower scores and play your best WITHOUT changing your swing. Michael is a full-time golf writer who has written over 1,000,000 words about the sport since 2017 and been playing golf for more than 20 years.

Because let's face it, no matter how good you get, your swing will never be perfect and a work in progress. The good news is that you don't need a "perfect" swing to break 80 or become a scratch golfer. In this podcast, he will teach you how to play more consistent golf by mastering your mindset, playing wicked smart golf on the course, learn to practice like a pro, and simplify the short game for lower scores.
