Pre shot routine

Do you have a pre shot routine? If you don’t, and want to improve, then develop one! If you do have a pre shot routine, do you practice it when you’re on the range? Do you know how long it takes you (in seconds) from the time you take your first step forward from behind the ball, to the time your club strikes the ball?
If you watch the # one and two player in the world (Tiger and Phil), you’ll see hoe consistent their routines are. It takes Tiger between 9 and 11 seconds and it takes Phil between 14 and 17 seconds every time. You’ll see Tiger walk into the ball, set up, take a few waggles (as he zones in on his target), and executes his shot.

You’ll notice Phil walk into the ball with the club in his right hand, spin the club 2 times as he walks to the ball, set up, a few waggles (as he zones in on the target), and executes his shot.

Even though they each have their own style, they repeat it the same every time. If you watch the best players in the world, they have their own styles and repeat them the same too.
If you develop and practice a pre shot routine, you will find yourself shooting lower and more consistent scores. Having a solid and consistent routine will be your weapon when you get in pressure situations.
