With nearly 40 years of experience across the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour, and Champions Tour—accumulating nearly $10 million in career earnings—Skip brings a masterclass in scoring consistency, mental toughness, and short-game execution. Skip shares his incredible story of fighting back from dead last (180th place) after round one of PGA Tour Q-School to finish tied for 1st place. He breaks down how he survived the mini-tours while working late-night shifts as a waiter, and how he turned an underdog mindset into decades of success alongside golf's greatest legends. During our conversation, you will learn: The S.C.O.R.E. Mental System: Use Jim Fannon's framework (Self-discipline, Confidence, Optimism, Relaxation, Enjoyment) to evaluate and elevate your mindset after every round. Hand-Grip Wedge Matrix: Dial in 10-yard distance increments by adjusting hand placement down the grip while keeping a consistent 9 o'clock swing. Bunker Precision Tips: Improve sand contact by keeping the lower body quiet, preventing the trail knee from kicking in, and changing lofts for long shots.8 Setup & Putter Alignment Hacks: Control your face angle using an "access point" setup, and fix target alignment by closing your dominant eye. Target Engagement On Putts: Avoid missing short putts by maintaining longer, multi-beat looks at the target during your pre-shot routine. Smart Event Preparation: Avoid pre-tournament burnout by shifting focus toward rest, proper nutrition, and playing the course on the range. Make sure to check out Skip's Sub70 wedges! You can also follow him on Instagram and watch his awesome YouTube videos.

    In this "Wicked Smart Game Plan" coaching episode, Michael Leonard breaks down Clint ( a podcast listener's) current game and provides actionable strategies to help him overcome his current hurdles and reach scratch golf or better.

    We'll discuss:

    • Overcoming Tee-Shot "Scar Tissue": Strategies for eliminating indecision and anxiety when navigating tight landing zones, doglegs, and hazard-lined holes.

    • Building Trust Off the Tee: Using positive visualization, past successful shots, and off-course reflection to execute drives with 100% commitment.

    • Unlocking Putting Consistency: How implementing a metronome (68–78 bpm) and a larger setup mirror can dramatically improve tempo, start lines, and speed control.

    • Conservative vs. Aggressive Play: Finding the balance between taking calculated risks and smart course management—plus why avoiding greenside bunkers is critical to protecting your score.

    • Eliminating "Sloppy Bogeys": Utilizing formal strokes-gained tracking to pinpoint weak approach distances and staying locked into pre-shot routines on short wedge shots

    And more mental golf tips.
