Drawing from over 350 days of competitive experience, including Korn Ferry Tour Q-School, state and city amateur championships, and elite team events, this book goes beyond generic advice. Instead, you’ll get practical tools and a step-by-step framework to help you show up fully prepared, manage nerves, and stay composed under pressure.

If Wicked Smart Golf helped you play better without swing changes and Wicked Smart Golf II gave you the blueprint to break 80 consistently, this third installment takes you inside the ropes—where mindset, routine, and tournament strategy matter most.

You’ll learn how to find the right events for your game, train with purpose, and prepare mentally and physically to perform your best. You’ll also discover how to reset after bad shots, manage energy across 18 holes, and adapt your strategy for one-day qualifiers, multiday events, match play, and team competitions. Finally, you’ll build a post-round reflection process that reinforces confidence and helps you grow with each round.

This isn’t about playing perfect golf. It’s about making smarter decisions, staying calm under pressure, and creating a repeatable system you can trust in the heat of competition.

Whether you want to win your club championship, qualify for elite amateur events, or simply play your best when it matters most, Wicked Smart Golf III will help you think, prepare, and compete like a true tournament golfer. Press play and take your competitive game to the next level.
