446: Eric Duffett - Use Shot Pattern To Pick Smart Targets & Make Better Decisions20 Nov 202500:44:33

>>Get the Wicked Smart Practice Formula 72-Hour Sale!

>>Get the Shot Pattern App 40% Discount (until 12/31/25). 

Every golfer thinks they're playing smart golf… until they look at their actual shot patterns.

If you've ever stood in the fairway wondering why your "perfect" drive found trouble—or why your approach shot ended up short-sided—you're not alone. Most golfers have no idea where their shots really go, and that's why course management breaks down.

That's exactly what led me to the Shot Pattern App, one of the smartest tools I've ever used to visualize dispersion, understand tendencies, and plan smarter targets.

In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Duffett, the creator of Shot Pattern, to talk about how this app can completely transform the way you manage your game.

You'll learn:

  • Why understanding your shot dispersion is the foundation of smart golf

  • How to use Shot Pattern to make better decisions and avoid blowup holes

  • The simple process for target selection that lowers scores immediately

  • How to use data—not emotion—to manage your misses and play to your strengths

  • Why most amateurs pick targets that are far too aggressive (and how to fix it)

If you've ever wondered how to think like a Tour pro when picking targets, this episode will show you exactly how. Follow Shot Pattern on Instagram to learn more.

371: How Your Self-Image Shapes Your Game + Pebble Beach Caddy Interview11 Feb 202501:07:52

Get started with WHYGOLF Training Aids - the best training aids to help your practice sessions (use code WICKEDSMART to save 15%). 

Your self-image is the hidden force behind every round you play. Whether you realize it or not, the way you see yourself as a golfer directly impacts your confidence, decision-making, and ability to perform under pressure. If you've ever felt stuck at a certain handicap or struggled with consistency, it's not just about mechanics—it's about who you believe you are on the course.

In this solo episode, I break down why self-image is the missing link for so many golfers and how you can start thinking, acting, and training like your future self—starting today. When you listen to this episode, you will learn: 

  • Why your identity as a golfer dictates your results.
  • A journaling exercise that will help you embody your future self. 
  • Practical strategies to reprogram your mindset for lower scores.
  • Why taking consistent action builds confidence faster than motivation.
  • How to shift your internal self-talk to match the golfer you want to become.
  • The difference between playing to your handicap vs. playing to your potential.

If you want to break 80, win tournaments, or just feel more confident on the course, it starts with seeing yourself as that golfer before you get there. This episode will help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Plus, I'll share how I began to upgrade my self-image in 2016 leading up to Pebble Beach. And interview Nicholas Tucker, a 10-year PGA Tour caddy.

445: The 5 Types of Wicked Smart Practice Every Golfer Needs18 Nov 202500:28:00

>>Get the Wicked Smart Practice Formula 72-Hour Sale!

Most golfers think they're practicing… but they're really just exercising their bad habits.

They hit the same shots, to the same targets, with no plan, no feedback, and no real improvement. Then they wonder why the results don't show up on the course.

The truth is, practice is where consistency is built—or destroyed. If you don't have a system for how you practice, you'll never reach your potential.

In this episode, I break down the five types of practice that separate average golfers from elite performers. This is the same framework I've used for over 20 years of competing and coaching, and it's one of the most valuable concepts in Wicked Smart Golf II.

You'll learn:

  • The difference between practice that builds skill and practice that wastes time

  • Why the best players in the world rely on structured block practice

  • How to add variety, pressure, and competition to simulate on-course conditions

  • The role of your pre-shot routine and why it's the real key to transferring your range game to the course

  • How to make meaningful progress—even without a launch monitor or simulator this winter

Whether you're training for next season or just trying to make your practice time more effective, this episode will give you a clear blueprint to work smarter and see real results.
