Tom's Featured Tip: 3 Things To Do For Success Before You Play
For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.
Here are a 3 things you can do before you tee it up to prepare yourself to play, mentally and physically.
- Hit the range to stretch your body and prepare your brain. Do this
Thoracic Spine Stretch first, then take 24 swings as follows: one slow motion practice swing, then hit a
ball. Repeat for a total of 12 rehearsal swings and 12 balls hit.
Keep in mind that it's not a swing practice session, it's a swing rehearsal session.
Use the range before a round to wake up your brain and your body to your swing motion.
If you can't get to the range before your round, do this.
After you take your clubs out of your car, find a place where you can take a 7 iron and take 5 very slow motion rehearsal swings, paying attention to every move your body makes from start to finish. It's the next best thing to hitting balls on the range for your brain. Then do the Thoracic Spine Stretch.
- Give yourself 5 to 10 minutes on the putting green and do this:
Practice your stock putting stroke with ten putts. Click here for The Stock Stroke Drill
Then take one ball and putt to different length target holes, putting until you hole out.
Last thing on the putting green before you head to the first tee - make 5 three footers in a row.
- On the first tee, invert your driver - hold it by the neck, not the handle, and take 5 very fast swings.
Then step in a hit a great drive.

Tom's Bonus Tip: Mental Tip - Attitude
It doesn't cost you a dime to have a positive attitude, and in golf that can be a big plus.
Your attitude can be a positive tool over outcome. Successful golfers do not allow their attitude to be influenced by results. They stay focused and positive, regardless of outcome. Unsuccessful golfers do the opposite and allow bad outcomes or scores to impact their attitude in a negative way.
Attitude can also help you to remain calm under pressure. Unhappy and unsuccessful golfers believe the deck is stacked is against them, so they are filled with anxiety and frustration. Successful golfers believe that the Golf Gods are there to help them. They know that the future will eventually work in their favor, so they have a sense of calmness about them.
Your attitude is a choice.
It really is that simple.
