A pre-shot routine is one of the few constants in golf that all good players (pros & ams) have in common and something that you can control. It's also something you can and should develop in the offseason. Here's why... A pre-shot routine will also help you: Stay calm and focused Improve your pace of play Block out negative thoughts Find your target and commit to a shot Take your range game to the golf course But most importantly, it will help you get into the zone. When your pre-shot routine becomes automatic, you can easily get in the zone and let your subconscious take over. This is where greatness comes and it's almost an out-of-body experience. To get these benefits on the golf course, you need to first create your routine on the range.

The first tee jitters are part of golf - quit being ashamed of them. As Raymond Floyd said, "If you get first-tee jitters, the first thing you should know is that they're nothing to be ashamed of. I still get them before every tournament round." Tiger said something similar and mentioned if you don't get them at all, you shouldn't be out there! The most important thing to remember is that you need to stick to a good routine so you don't worry about anyone watching… instead thinking only of target. Embrace the "jitters" by reframing them as nerves to play your best golf.
