I know from experience that without one
you will never become that quality player you dream of being. Take my
advice; it will make a world of difference in your confidence and your
scores. So let’s jump into it and get you that powerful pre shot
routine you’ve always wanted.
Step #1
The first thing you should do is take a
step back and line yourself up behind the ball looking towards the
hole. Then we need you to take a deep breath and focus. You have to
try and envision the shot you want to play from that position. Give
yourself a mental picture of what you want to happen. This is critical
to the success of any shot. If you don’t know what to do in your mind
you can’t physically execute what you want.

Now that you know the type of shot to
hit, you have to figure out what club to hit it with. This is known as
picking your club. Since you can attain the same result many different
ways, always play to your strengths. If you prefer to hit a hard
aggressive 7 iron instead of a laid off light 6 iron, then that’s the
shot you should hit.
Step #3
After you’ve picked your club you have
to pick your target to aim at. If you’re hitting a tee shot, pick a
spot like a tall tree or building in the distance past the fairway.
Make sure it is in line with the shot down the fairway that you want
to hit. Do the same with your approach shots by picking a target past
the green or the flag in the distance. Next we want you to pick a spot
in front of the ball about 6-12 inches that is in line with your
target in the distance. This spot will be used to line up your
clubface.

Step #4
We are now going to make our practice
swing. This can be done either while you are still behind the ball, or
you can step up beside the ball. The idea at this moment is to
practice and feel the swing you want to make. If you envision a high
cut shot, then practice a high cut swing. If you see a low punch, then
practice a punch swing. This helps your body do what your mind sees.
Step #5
Finally we are going to address the
ball. This meaning that we are going to step up to the ball and get
ready to hit the shot. This is important because you must be totally
committed to your shot by now. You can do whatever you want to make
yourself comfortable. Some people waggle the club, bounce with their
knees, or take a deep breath. Do whatever works for you. Put the club
on the ground, line it up with your target, and get ready to pull the
trigger.
Well, there you have it, “The 5 ‘Keys’
to a Highly Effective golf pre shot routine you can learn
immediately”.
The best way to learn it is to use it
the next time you play. Make a concise effort to do the steps outlined
above and you will see how quickly it becomes a habit.
