Developing a consistent Pre-Shot Routine is critical to playing golf to your true potential.  This pre-shot routine can consist of your own personal moves such as standing behind the ball, gripping the club in the same manner (left hand first then the right hand), picking a small target on the ground several inches in front of your ball, and then visualizing your shot.  This whole process really only needs to last just a couple of seconds.

The Pre-Shot Routine is helpful on many levels.  It is human nature for us to feel more comfortable with something we are familiar with rather than something we are not.  So by doing the same Pre-Shot Routine every time, your mind is in a place of familiarity.  In addition, since you are in that state of familiarity and visualizing your shot; negative thoughts have less of a chance to interfere with your goal which is hitting a good golf shot at your given target.

Anytime you are hitting a golf shot and you think to yourself; boy I hope I don’t hit it in the water or I hope I don’t hit it out of bounds; you are setting yourself up for failure.  Why not set yourself up for success with a consistent Pre-Shot Routine.

I hope this tip assists you in your pursuit of lifelong game improvement.
