Pre-Shot Routines

6:08 am May 31, 2009

Before you swing, it’s best to have a routine that you can quickly go
through in order to focus your thoughts. Every player has their own
way of approaching the ball before taking their swing….

But, here is an example of a typical pre-shot routine that you can
model for your personal use:

Step 1: Take ONE Practice Swing

Many players, especially beginners, tend to take too many practice
swings. Unfortunately, taking too many practice swings can make a
person more nervous & less confident about the shot.

All you need is one decent practice swing before hitting the ball.

Keep it simple & try to keep your mind off of the swing as much as
possible. Your goal is to simply limber up your arms & shoulders,
and not over-stress the play.

Step 2: Visualize The Outcome

Once you have loosened up with a practice swing, take a few steps
back & visualize the clubhead hitting the ball in perfect harmony.

Picture the ball flying through the air with a perfect arc & then
landing exactly where you want it to. Pretend that you are making a
real shot, then, step up to the ball for the real thing.

Step 3: Dial Your In Aim

Now it’s time to get your aim set up so that you can hit the ball
directly towards the green. Align yourself, the clubhead, & the turf.

This will help you get the distance you need to reach the green.

Once you are ready, select a second target that is a few feet in front
of you: one that is in the direct line of fire. Focusing on second target
like this makes it easier to hit the ball towards its destination.

Step 4: Fire!

At this point, you have taken one practice swing, visualized the
entire shot in your mind, & have dialed in your aim. It’s now time to
swing. Before you make your shot, however, be sure to stay limber
by wiggling the clubhead a bit.

Once you’re ready, it is time to get your backswing in motion & go
for the gold!
