Golf Lesson Tip of The Week

Today we are going to talk about what to do before you swing and or prepare to hit a golf shot. This is called the pre-shot routine. If you would like to play more consistent golf and shoot lower scores you need to adopt a pre-shot routine or work on making your current pre-shot routine more solid and the same for every shot you hit. One of the biggest differences between a tour player and an average golfer doesn't involve the actual swing. Watch a tour player go through his pre-shot routine, and you'll almost never see him walk in from the side and make a practice swing right next to the ball. He faces the target from behind the ball, to visualize his shot, and makes a couple of gentle practice swings with his eyes on the target before stepping in. When you approach from the side, it distorts your view of the target and screws up your aim. Some players also tend to keep their feet in place after a practice swing and then reach for the ball to hit it. That's another good reason to start your routine from behind. Take this information and apply it to your next practice session and/or round of golf.
