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

>> 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
