Developing consistency isn't easy. It's especially difficult for golfers whose practice time is limited by their work and/or their families. But there are some things that these golfers can do to help themselves develop consistency, even when they're unable to get to a range or are on the road traveling. One is practicing their pre-shot routine-- something my golf tips often discuss. Unfortunately, many golfers don't have a pre-shot routine. If they do have a routine, they don't always use it. And when they use it, it's disorganized. Their method of ball alignment is haphazard; they spend too much time over the ball; and/or they line up off-target, among other things. If they're interrupted, they look up to see what caused the noise--then hit away, as if nothing happened. Using a pre-shot routine is helpful, whether on the tee or in the fairway. It encourages consistency, guarantees correct alignment, and helps you make the transition to the right frame of mind. It also helps you focus on the job at hand, which my golf tips constantly advocate. In short, a good pre-shot routine prepares you both physically and mentally for a shot. My golf lessons review the individual components of a good routine. Of course, everyone's routine will differ to a degree, but most will be pretty consistent in terms of their key components. If you're striving for a lower golf handicap, work these components into your routine.
