Do you go to the course and feel like you are playing a game of “hit and hope?” Or even worse, can’t even focus on the shot?

One key to taking your range game to the course is having a mental preshot routine.

The best golfers in the world are thinking about what they want to happen and occupying their minds with things that will help them. This can be a rhythmic saying or a swing thought.

You need to have consistent mental thoughts over the ball to have consistent shots on your target line.

How many times does a tee shot in the trees end up with a double bogey or worse?

This doesn’t have to be the reality and even better, just a small change in approach can make this an area where you gain strokes on your opponents

On tour the average score to hole out between 100-200 in the trees is 3.8 (Decade Golf) This means on a par 4 when a PGA Tour player hits into the trees they should expect to make bogey around 80% of the time.

If that’s the case, why should you, as an amateur golfer try to pull of a heroic shot between the smallest branches of the tree? You shouldn’t.

Everyone hits shots into the trees, and when yours inevitably finds the trees, suck it up, put your big boy (or girl) pants on, and get it back in play.

I love this, stop turning one bad shot into 3 bad holes.

Do you have a Post-Shot Routine? 🤔 A post-shot routine is what you do immediately after hitting a shot, and it can be just as important as your pre-shot process. It helps you stay mentally sharp, bounce back from bad shots, and reinforce what you did right on good ones.

Why you need one:

• It keeps your emotions in check
• Builds confidence through reflection
• Helps you learn faster and stay focused

Example Post-Shot Routine:

1. Watch your shot and pick one thing you did well
2. Take a deep breath (reset)
3. Say a cue word like “next” or “commit” to shift focus
4. Walk with purpose to your next shot

No more letting one bad shot turn into five.

Do you have a post-shot routine? If not, start one this week and see the difference.

Do you struggle to make consistent contact with your golf shots?

This instructional video is intended to help fix one of the most common mistakes I see golfers with this issue. It also can help to fix many shots from short game to full swing.

As we enter this new year, I want to help you learn how to maximize your current golf game with golf strategy content. The prerequisite to golf strategy is the idea of shot patters.

I first learned this idea of shot patterns from Scott Fawcett of DECADE Golf. As he explains. Most people play golf like they have a sniper rifle and hit precision shots. But the reality is it’s more like a shotgun with a spread. An example is that with the driver on the PGA Tour, it is 65 yards wide on average.

In this video below, you will see my shot pattern for a 7-iron. Knowing this concept helps you “miss in the right spots” because you can aim more conservatively, knowing you will miss shots right and left of your intended target.

Mental game tip: Create and use a Pre-Shot Routine for all your shots.

Bill Belichick former head coach of New England Patriots had a motto plastered all over his facilities.

“Do your job.”

The reason for this is if everyone did their job they could simplify their role and the team could achieve their max potential. In golf your job on the course is to pick the best shot given the circumstances, then execute it to the best of your ability… THAT’S IT!

My suggestion is to choose 1 or 2 aspects of this routine to add to your tool-belt. Consistent players are consistent with their routines.
