504: Wicked Smart Game Plan - Stats, AI, & a Simple Plan to STOP 3-Putting — Wicked Smart Golf

>> Join Wicked Smart Golf Academy To Lower Your HDCP and Play Consistent Golf

Kevin, a 2.7 handicap golfer from Prince Edward Island, Canada, joins the podcast to discuss his journey from picking up the game in 2017 to shooting a personal best of 68 in 2025. Despite a short playing season, Kevin utilizes technology like Trackman and ChatGPT to analyze his stats, aiming to reach a plus handicap before his first child arrives.

In this episode, you will learn:

How Kevin used ChatGPT to analyze his strokes gained, Trackman data, and scoring averages to identify the "low-hanging fruit" in his game.
Why "choking down" on a standard driver might actually lead to longer, more centered drives than a longer shaft.
A deep dive into why Kevin looks at the hole rather than the ball for long putts and whether this inconsistency is hurting his short-game performance.
Strategies for conquering the 5-handicap level putting Kevin currently experiences from inside 12 feet, including green reading and visualization techniques.
Balancing the "Stack" speed training protocol with gym work and mobility, especially when "feeling sluggish".
Mental hacks for committing to aggressive shots on narrow, tree-lined courses where "guiding the ball" is a recipe for disaster.
The importance of a consistent pre-shot routine, including breathing exercises and finding targets to stay present under pressure
