Tips To Better Your Golf Game

Pre-shot routines.

It can't be stressed enough the importance of making use of a pre-shot routine before every shot. A good pre-shot routine sets you up for success, consistently. A routine takes the bad thoughts away as you focus on the same routine every shot instead of self-doubt.

Pre-shot routines will include the following:

1. They will be completed exactly the same each time. Same pace, length, and same thoughts. 2. Routines can involve setting up correctly each time which is the most typical mistake among amateur golf players, they don't do it. This will include perfect alignment, perfect distance from golf ball, as well as perfect posture. 3. See rule 1.

Just as changes in ones swing take time to develop and make habit, a pre-shot routine will develop into something that turns you into a player that performs well under pressure, an envied quality. A routine is what will let you take to the golf course the golf swing you just had on the driving range.

A routine needs to be practiced just as you would practice any drill for a swing change. It would take too long to practice an entire session using your full pre-shot routine, but to use it for three swings then three swings without would be a good regimen to start out with.

Another suggestion, simple as it sounds, is something 90% of average players don't do which is using an alignment club on the ground. Ensure it is aligned perfectly with a precise target. If you do not understand for certain which way you're aiming, how do you realize you hit a great shot? Maybe you were lined up 20 yards left but hit what you thought was a good shot? You will probably begin to hit the ball higher and shorter then a huge slice, disaster.

If you turn your attention on a routine and set up correctly, only your mind may get in the way of success.
