Wicked Smart Golf II: The Blueprint to Breaking 80 Consistently
Learn how to BREAK 80, have more fun, and play more consistent golf...fast!
Wicked Smart Golf II is designed to help you shoot in the 70s consistently without making drastic swing changes. As a +2 handicap and mental golf coach, I’ve spent years developing a proven approach to lowering scores by focusing on the mental game, smart practice, a solid short game, and course management.

Learn from myself and legends I’ve had on my podcast, including Scott Fawcett (DECADE Golf), John Weir (Mental Golf Type), Dr. Joseph Parent (author of Zen Golf), Mark Immelman (On the Mark Podcast), Lou Stagner (Arccos Golf), PGA Tour winners and other experts.

Overall pretty good book. I think it is a really practical book, which was a big perk. Really liked the layout and section break down.
If you haven’t read any other golf strategy or golf mentality books a great spot to start. It also had some very practical drills and cues that I will be taking to the range.
3/5 stars because I was quite annoyed at how often the author pushed his product. “Use code WICKEDSMART to get…” IMO I’ve already paid the money for the book, keep the influencing to Instagram. I also did not like that a lot of the time it felt like a book report. There were tons and tons of excerpts/quotes from other authors/podcasts/articles. It highlighted the author was well researched but I would have preferred less of a book report feel.
