>>Join Wicked Smart Golf Academy Today's episode is all about PUTTING.  If you're tired of 3-putting and letting your putter drag you down... you will love this episode! After getting some coaching from Cameron Strachan and using his "Look and Shoot Putting System" I dropped nearly 5 strokes on putting from 2021 to 2022. This revolutionary system lets you get "in the zone" on the greens and tap into the power of your subconscious mind. It's the most remarkable method I've learned in more than two decades playing golf. Listen to learn why it works so well and why it might be the secret to you playing better golf.  WICKED SMART GOLF PRACTICE RESOURCES To learn more about Cameron's system, make sure to check out https://www.autogolfshop.com/wicked/ Take your practice to the next level with my FREE mini-course: Practice Like a Pro.  Also, don’t forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”) Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes each week so you can play better without swing changes.

Speed training is one of the best ways to improve your game in the offseason. Trackman found that for every 1 MPH you add to your clubhead speed equates to about three extra yards of distance.  If you can add 5 MPH you'll hit it 15 yards (or so) longer, have shorter approach shots, and overall, make golf easier. Don't sleep on speed training! Today I'll compare two of the most common speed training programs - Superspeed Golf and The Stack System.  I've used both and have found a ton of success with my driver speed about 110 mph on average. You'll learn more about both programs and which one is the best option to help you gain speed this offseason.  Learn more about SuperSpeed Golf.
