I just back from a training camp in Southern Sweden with our better junior players. During the 2 days I attended we focused much attention on Routines and how to use a routine. For me, a routine creates a sense of certainty that we need to play better golf. A sound routine gives us a check list so that no stone is left unturned before we commit to the shot. Here are my keys to a good routine.
1. Know the distance. Look the yardage, wind and weather conditions to help determine the distance.
2. Determine how the ball is sitting. Is it sitting up or down? Know this!
3. Choose the type of shot and club to execute this shot.
4. Commit to the alignment and starting point.
5. Commit to the target and hit the shot.
6. Accept the result. It is ok to get upset if the result was not what you thought, but do not get angry for more than 10 seconds after the shot. As soon as you put the club into the bag, your focus is on the NEXT shot.
This might sound like a lot but with a little practice, you will be able to master your routine in less than 15 seconds.
Good Luck!
