Preparing For A game Of Golf
Golf is a game of ups and downs – one minute you are playing amazing golf and the next you can’t do a thing right. So what’s the easiest way to achieve a more consistent golf game? The obvious answer is through practice, because every one of us if we are being truthful do not visit the practice ground very often.
I appreciate this is not easy; we all lead busy lives and find it difficult to spare the time for practice right? So if you struggle to make time to get to the driving range or practice ground at your local golf club, then you have to be better prepared when you do get the chance of a game of golf.
I have witnessed this many times, hurtling down the road at the last minute grab the golf equipment, sprint to the first tee and before you know where you are your handicap has been used after 6 holes. Be honest with yourself here and think which nine you play better, the front or back. The majority of golfers will say the back nine, and the simple reason being, they have warmed up by then and are playing at their normal pace and in control.
Try and impliment these tips in your preparation for better golf.
1. Get to the golf course earlier than you would normally; give yourself an extra 20 minutes before you tee off. This will allow you to relax and organise yourself for the game ahead.
2. Use the extra time to stretch those golf muscles, use 2 clubs together and gently practice the movements in your golf swing, slowly building up to a full swing.
3. The little time you have remaining you should spend on the putting green getting used to the speed of the greens for the day. If it’s allowed hit a few practice chips around the putting green, although a lot if not all golf clubs don’t allow it.
4. Reaching the first tee a few minutes before teeing off is very important, this will give you time to exchange cards with your partners, arrange terms of your game for the day etc and it will allow you to organise yourself and prepare for the first shot of the day.
Allowing yourself the extra time to do this will get your game of golf off to a good start and not the usual crazy sprint to the first tee with stiff muscles trying to make a decent swing, then finding yourself off to the usual bad tee shot and resulting poor golf until you warm up and play your normal game.
DON’T DO IT !!!!!!!!!
