Today on the podcast we are joined by coach Michael Leonard from Wicked Smart Golf

We had a fascinating conversation about his life as a golf writer and more recently about as a player and a coach

What is WICKED SMART GOLF?

Essentially it is a system built around maximising your game without having to actually change your swing

We talked about the

FIVE PILLARS of GOLF

  1. Mental Game
  2. Practice
  3. Putting
  4. Wedges
  5. Course Management

As a coach he really helps players drill down into these key but undervalued areas

  • The opportunity in course management skills
  • The myths around Driver and 3 Woods
  • The importance of tracking our own statistics
  • What are EFFECTIVE targets with approach play
  • Dealing with anger and emotion based on unrealistic expectations
  • How to use stats REALLY effectively
  • What is EFFECTIVE aiming and shot dispersion
  • A really engaging and thoughtful conversation

Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
