About this item

This is not a book about developing a perfect golf swing. But if you're ready to play more consistently, have more fun, lower your handicap, and master your mental game, Wicked Smart Golf can help. When you listen to this book, you will learn 111 ways 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.

I have bought several copies of this book for family and friends.
There are some really simple but clever tips that help emove the fog and the over thinking out on the course.
As he says its not about modifying the swing but its about everything else that helps you perform better.
Everything contributes and to be honest some surprised me how they contribute to my better performance.
Don't expect magic. it takes a little practice so it all becomes natural but it all adds up.

I’ve read probably close to 100 books on golf, and I have to say this book is one of the best. I love how it’s easily a digestible, basically five concepts in the book but each is broken down to an easily read one or two pages. Well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST Read by Every Golfer

I admit it ... I LOVE golf and will do anything to score better. Until I read this book, I thought swing improvements was the best way to get better. Just like most things in golf, do the opposite of whatever you are doing and you are likely to improve faster. This book is all about putting the MOST focus on the things you can control ... from course strategy to practice. (Yes ... I'm talking practice.) And doing it in a super simple way. Read the book and use just 3-5 of the tips (there are over 100!) and you'll play better golf. Each chapter is a different tip and only 1 page long (with big type). I couldn't put it down.

My favorite tips ... 1) How to adjust for wind (super simple rules of thumb that work), 2) Create a memory bank of your great shots (I now write them down after every round and carry them with me like a security blanket) and 3) stay loyal to your pre-shot routine (driver, irons, chipping and putting). You need all 4!

Thank you Michael for sharing such practical and immediately actionable advice in one place. You are Wicked Smart!
