One of the easiest ways to improve your game is to focus on your pre-shot routine. Most high handicap golfers dont have a routine at all, they basically step up to the shot after a couple of practice swings and freeze so they think of negative thoughts. If you dont have a routine you cant have a clear expectation for the shot you are about to hit. How many times have you missed a putt because you stepped up and just hit it? I know that youre thinking youve made a lot of putts that way also, but when the money is on the line you have to be able to rely on your routine. When you focus on your routine that takes your mind off of the results. Thinking about the results is a sure way to bring negative thoughts to mind. If I miss this putt Ill be down $2. I havent made any putts today This putt for birdie is only 6 feet if I miss it will be embarrassing. Any of these sound familiar? You cant play good golf with negative thoughts in your head. Negative thoughts create doubt, and doubt creates tension. Tension is the scourge golf. Have you ever played good golf in a bad mood? When you focus on your pre-shot routine youre not thinking about anything else. Ideally your routine should have about 5 steps, if you focus on each step there is no time to have negative thoughts, ie tension. Here is a simple routine you can use the next time you play.: 1. Say to yourself Focus. This is your trigger. 2. Stand behind the ball and look at the target. 3. Address the ball and check your alignment 4. Look at the target 2 times 5. Pull the trigger Master your pre-shot routine and you will find the key to consistency. http://www.AllGolf.org |
