Wicked Smart Golf : Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing

Rate this book
Want to play better golf tomorrow? Wicked Smart Golf can help... when you read this book, you will learn how to shoot lower scores without changing your swing.

If you’re like most golfers, you want to shoot lower scores and will do whatever it takes to get there—whether it’s buying new clubs, getting lessons, or hitting an endless amount of golf balls on the driving range.

But after going all-in on my golf dreams since 2017, I’ve realized that most golfers don’t reach their potential for one reason - they think they need a perfect swing.

While improving your swing to become a better ball striker always helps, it’s not the most important thing to shoot low scores, especially if you’re a recreational golfer or someone without grand aspirations of being a professional golfer.

Here’s the problem, though… Most advice is hurting your game, NOT helping you shoot lower scores. There’s too much information out there and it's easy to get overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated trying to understand the complexity of the golf swing.

My goal is simple—help golfers shoot lower scores and drop their handicap without all the technical swing changes. Because let's face it, no matter how good you get, your swing will never be perfect and will always be a work in progress.

Fortunately, you don't need a "perfect" swing to break 100, 90, 80 or become a scratch golfer. And in this book, you will learn 111 easy-to-implement strategies inside my five pillar approach that will lead to shooting lower scores without changing your swing.

Common sense advice

Common sense advice. Even if we know some of it, it is good to be reminded. Appreciated the real world experience the author shared to bring some much needed perspective to my game. Lots of excellent insights that bear reading more than once. I have read more than a few golf books. This one will be a useful tool to get my 8 index down to a 3 or 4. Thank you to the author.

Thank you Michael for writing a book that actually relates to an average golfer who really wants to improve. I have started implementing many of the key strategies to improve my game and have dropped from a 13 handicap to a 10! So if you want to go from average to better get this book! I’ve read several golf books but this book has really helped me improve and re focus my goals for golf.

I really enjoy the Wicked Smart podcast which I why I wanted to give the book a try. Unfortunately the chapters are very superficial, almost like extended tweets that don’t really have much substance to them. I’d much rather listen to Michael’s podcast format.

I liked the advice he gives. It’s not over the top and he keeps it simple. Let’s hope I can carry some tips to the course.
