Pre-Shot Routine: Every Golfer Needs This

Tour players don't think about their swing on the shot. They execute a pre-planned routine.

Why Pre-Shot Routine Matters

A consistent pre-shot routine:

• Reduces anxiety under pressure
• Eliminates indecision
• Creates automaticity (your body just executes)
• Builds confidence through repetition
• Improves consistency across conditions

The Perfect Pre-Shot Routine (15-20 Seconds)

Step 1: Pick Your Target (3 sec)

Stand behind the ball. Look at where you want it to go. Commit to that target.

Step 2: Practice Swing (5 sec)

Take 2-3 practice swings or strokes. Feel the motion you're about to execute.

Step 3: Address the Ball (2 sec)

Step up to the ball. Get your grip and stance right.

Step 4: Final Look (2 sec)

One final look at your target. Visualize the shot.

Step 5: Execute (3 sec)

Commit and swing. No more thinking. Just execution.

How to Install This Routine

Week 1: Practice routine in your backyard, 20 times

Week 2: Use routine on all practice shots at the range

Week 3: Use routine on every putt during practice

Week 4: Use routine on every shot during a round (this takes discipline)

By week 4, your routine is automatic. You'll play better under pressure.

Real Course Impact

Golfers with a consistent pre-shot routine shoot 2-3 strokes lower under pressure because:

• Tension decreases (routine creates calm)
• Indecision goes away (routine forces commitment)
• Consistency improves (same motion, same result)
