Have you worked diligently to develop a first-rate Preshot Address Routine (3-F-5)? Only in this way can you be assured of an adequate 'programming' of the Computer prior to your Stroke.
Most TOUR stars have consciously ncorporated such a procedure in their own games. In his book Five Lessions, Ben Hogan wrote of having the distinct impression he had already hit the shot after having gone through his routine.
Check out Jeff Hull's routine in our video series in The Gallery. It involves far more than just a Waggle. It is nothing less than a full-scale rehearsal of his entire Golf Stroke.
So, focus on Pre-Shot Routine in your next few practice sessions. Then, take it to the course. You may be surprised to see just how close you can come to 'hitting your second shot first.'
Thanks for taking the time to reply Lynn.
My pre-shot and set up routine never varies. Only the results are variable!
This, I guess, is down to improper execution rather more than lax preparation.
I have developed three very annoying and often occurring horror shots.
A high, wide and not at all handsome "fore right" with the Driver. The alternative to which is long and dead straight; but the occasional heel hit has begun to creep in also.
The third horror is the worst of the lot. I simply cannot hit my sand wedge into the green from inside 70 yards without a fifty, fifty chance of a sh..nk resulting.
Nevertheless, I will accept your sage advice and diligently follow the Gnomes routine on the range on Monday and see what transpires. Tomorrow I will be at this machine reviewing the Jeff Hull and Brian Gay videos.
