Michael Leonard joins Tori again to talk about one of the most important—and overlooked—parts of shooting lower scores: wedges and short game.
Michael also shares his quest to go from a +2 to +5 handicap, what the data says he needs to improve, and why golfers should spend less time obsessing over their swings and more time developing the skills that actually lower scores.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How Michael is working toward a +5 handicap.
- Why your wedge game matters so much.
- How to build a simple wedge distance matrix.
- Why most amateurs need more forgiving wedges.
- How to make short-game practice more realistic.
- Why committing to one driver shot shape simplifies golf.
- How better practice and course management can lower scores without swing changes.
And more tips to better golf without mechanical swing changes.
