𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 ⛳️😎 5️⃣ simple tips to help you play better before you tee it up this weekend 🙌 Be sure to hit ❤️, 🔁 + bookmark if you find this helpful 😁 1️⃣ - Pack Your Bag Not fuelling yourself properly on game day can cause poor judgment, lack of energy, shorter drives, bad mood and potentially that dreaded back 9 crash! 😫 Sadly many pro shops + golf courses don’t offer the greatest nutritional selections although this is starting to change 🍎 Packing your bag with a couple of water bottles, a chicken salad wrap, a banana, and an energy bar for example would put you way ahead of the game 😉 Nutrition is such a low hanging fruit (pun intended 🤣) to improved performance yet it’s one very few golfers take advantage of so get yourself ahead of the game! 2️⃣ - Pace Practice Many golfers throw away multiple shots per round through 3 putts and data collected shows the 1st hole is easily the most 3 putted hole on the course 🤓 Investing 5 mins to get the pace of the greens before you play is such an easy win! Many options here to do this, but a ladder drill or similar could work well 😁 3️⃣ - Get Warm Spending 5 mins with a resistance band or even a golf club to get the body moving + fired up to swing a golf club is such a worthwhile use of time! Remember the golf swing itself is a highly complex + explosive motion 🧨 And there is nothing worse than the golfer running to the 1st tee from the car and topping that opening shot 😫 4️⃣ - Hit A Few Balls Hitting a few balls on the range or in a net before you hit the 1st tee can be so helpful 🏌️‍♂️ This isn’t really the time or place to get too technical but more to get some feels for the day and get the body ready for the course Working your way up from wedges to mid irons to woods can be a nice idea👌 Finishing by rehearsing the opening tee shot/ hole or the par 3s on the front side can also be helpful 😁 5️⃣ - Plan Ahead Don’t just turn up to the golf course and blag it! 🤦‍♂️ Have a plan of how you want to attack the course! With things such as Decade, Upgame, google earth etc there is no real excuse not to have looked at the course beforehand and have some kind of strategy for certain holes ⛳️ If the course does pin placements looking at them in advance for example and identify any sucker ones ahead of time! 👊 A little preparation goes a long way 😁 Doing the above doesn’t guarantee good good by any means but it does stack the odds a little more in your favour! Investing just a few mins in each could easily add up to a few saved shots each round 🙌 There are a lot of uncontrollables during a round of golf but by taking care of the simple things you can control you can give yourself the best chance to perform! 💪 If you got this far well done 🤣 Be sure to share with others to help them out too 🙏
