Publisher's summary

This is not a book about developing a perfect golf swing. But if you're ready to play more consistently, have more fun, and master your mental game, Wicked Smart Golf can help. When you listen to 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.

An annotated edition of Wicked Smart Golf, offering over two hours of bonus content featuring more detailed strategies, mental game resources, and never-before-told stories shared by Michael Leonard. Not available in other formats.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What a “Game Changer”!

Michael’s audio book is a constant reminder of everything needed on the mental side of golf. As PGA Professional, I feel as though I understood the game as completely as I could from all angles. Michael reframed my approach with his abundance of sited instructors views, relatable life experiences, and countless ways to articulate the many views on how to approach the game from the mental side of things. I have read over 30 golf self help books and this goes at the top. I will be reaching out to Michael for opportunities to have him speak to our membership, and how to get his book in our golf shop! Must Read!!!

Incredibly Simple, Clear, and Easily Implemented

The tactics laid out in this book seemed too simple to be effective. I implemented the authors recommended pre-shot routines, as well as decreasing my time over the ball to 8 seconds (counting down from 8) and i just shot my best round yet. The tactics helped me get over my last shot, good or bad, and helped me focus on what was right in front of me. These two tips alone were worth the read but there is a gold mine in here. Great read!

Great tips for someone looking to improve their game physically and mentally

I enjoyed it! Michael did a great job of portraying what most golfers who are looking to improve their game go through. Listening to his successes and failures helped relate to me and most casual golfers. The things I took away mostly are approach to the game, having a good attitude and establishing consistency. I will definitely give it another listen soon.

Priceless

What an enjoyable listen! I have been having more fun practicing and playing while utilizing Michael’s methods. The mental game section is worth the price on its own, in my opinion. I can’t wait to keep implementing all chapters into my game. I’m listening a second time now and it’s even better.

Great reference book!

Really enjoyed this audio book from Michael Leonard and definitely recommend it to those looking to glean information on how to improve their golf games. I am a regular listener of his Wicked Smart Golf podcasts, which I also recommend, so knew this audiobook would be good. As I am a newer golfer, the sharing of his own golf journey helped me to understand that I am on the right track to improving both my physical and mental game and also to set realistic expectations. Lots of good practical advice to put to use, great book!

Must listen for any golfer looking to improve their mental game.

This book covers so much great information. I’ve been a fan of Michael’s podcasts and approach for a while. I really enjoyed the audio book. Lots of good things to implement. I don’t read many hard copy books just ordered one so I have it at my fingertips as well.

I love the value added with the podcast sections, great stories! This book is a roadmap to becoming your own problem solver in golf. The author gives great ways to explore your own game, and how to troubleshoot to get the most out of practice time. So many ideas to explore, thanks for making it on audio, I will have this on repeat as I watch my scores go down!
