Michael Leonard from the Wicked Smart Podcast joins me once again to explain what he didn’t do to become a scratch golfer.

Referring to going scratch as “the six-pack of golf”, Michael says that there’s no faking the journey to hitting that magical zero handicap. It’s a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.

At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldn’t take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.

And don’t miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.
