Relax

Ever played with someone who is too rigid, takes too long or simply can’t pull the trigger! Well if you are this person, relax. Easier said than done right? A nice practice routine to help someone relax before swinging is the “rapid fire drill”. Tee up 10 golf balls side by side about a foot apart (make sure you have plenty of room on the range for this drill so you don’t scare your neighbor) or with an iron do the same with the ball on the ground. Start by hitting the first ball and continue down the line hitting each ball as you take a step in towards the ball. Do not stop your swing, as you swing through, swing the club back up to the top as you step into the next golf ball. You will notice that this drill is full of continuous motion and does not give you the chance to get set up with both feet, in fact, you won’t have time to think about the shot at all. Rather, it allows you to shut your mind off and just swing. This is a great feel drill and will also help you relax when you get to the golf course and the real deal presents itself.
