Golf Tip - Develop a Pre-Shot Routine
==============================================

One key to consistency in your game is to develop a pre-shot
routine.  Here’s one that breaks down into 3-4 simple parts.
Use the same routine on EVERY shot (even on the driving range)
to force your swing to become more automatic, repeatable,  
and consistent. 

1. Walk into the shot from behind and align your body parallel 
left to your ball-target line.
2. Place club behind ball and take your grip
3. Waggle once or twice to relieve tension in your hands and arms 
4. Take a long look at the target, a short look at the ball, then
pull the trigger.

Remember: just prior to swinging, good golfers stare at the 
target then glance at the ball; poor golfers glance at the 
target then stare at the ball - usually until rigor mortis 
starts to set in - then they try to swing.

When you see where your ball lands, immediately begin to 
analyze your next shot. Do not waste your time worrying about 
mistakes or trying to fix your swing on the course (do that on
the driving range). Instead, focus completely on your next shot 
and a consistent pre-shot routine.

Your game will quickly become more solid, consistent, and a 
lot more fun!
