A pre-shot routine is one of the few constants in golf that all good players (pros & ams) have in common and something that you can control. It's also something you can and should develop in the offseason.
Here's why... A pre-shot routine will also help you:
Stay calm and focused
Improve your pace of play
Block out negative thoughts
Find your target and commit to a shot
Take your range game to the golf course
But most importantly, it will help you get into the zone.
When your pre-shot routine becomes automatic, you can easily get in the zone and let your subconscious take over. This is where greatness comes and itâs almost an out-of-body experience.
To get these benefits on the golf course, you need to first create your routine on the range. In this episode we'll cover:
Why you need a waggle How bad routines lead to meltdowns The importance of breath in your golf swing Why you need to analyze the lie before picking a club The correct amount of time to spend over the golf ballMaster your pre-shot routine in golf to save 3â5 shots per round by grabbing the free Pre-Shot Routine Checklist.
