    EP182: What I Wish Golfers Understood About Wedges with Michael Leonard

    In this episode of T-Time, I sit down with Michael Leonard, +2 handicap golfer, mental coach, and host of the Wicked Smart Golf podcast, to uncover the secrets to mastering your wedges. We trace Michael’s journey, from quitting his corporate job to averaging 60 competitive days a year and publishing multiple books. Michael breaks down the non-negotiables of wedge play: why custom fittings are essential, when to replace your clubs, and his creative practice routines, and he shares his ambitious new goal to reach a +5 handicap. I also kick off my personal “Summer of Draw” challenge, committing to one shot shape all season. If you’ve ever struggled with distance control, feared bunker shots, or wanted to stop wasting strokes inside 100 yards, this conversation is your blueprint. Plus, grab your FREE Wedge Wizard Guide!
