Proudly owning a pre-shot routine is the easiest way to ensure success off the tee. Right here’s what I like to recommend.
1. Stand behind the ball and visualize the shot you need to hit, be it a fade, draw, no matter. Should you’re not good at visualizing, focus in your goal, lining up your membership to the place you need the ball to land.
2. Faucet the membership on the bottom (a dynamic transfer that tells you it’s go time) and begin strolling to the ball, maintaining your eye on the goal the entire time. (Talking of targets, all-time main winner Jack Nicklaus used to decide on 4: one three inches behind the ball, one three inches in entrance, one 20 yards out and the precise goal — all in a line. Value a strive.)
3. As you get into tackle place, make certain to align your clubface to the goal first earlier than aligning your physique. Most weekend gamers get this backward.
4. Take one final take a look at the goal, inhale and exhale, then waggle the membership — an vital transfer to maintain you from freezing. As soon as your pre-shot routine is full, concentrate on one swing thought and go.
