Pre-Shot Routine 2

A pre-shot routine can be for luck, just like basketball players do, or baseball players before they hit. Baseball hitters, swing the bat back and forth, back and forth, a few times, for luck or to get ready for the incoming pitch. Well, as I said before It is very similar to the golf pre-shot routine. A golf pre-shot routine can be a luck based action but most golfers do it, to prepare for the upcoming shot. Preparing also falls under the category of getting into a rhythm. Most professional golfers do there pre-shot routine to get there mind off the fundamentals of the swing, but focussed on where they want their shot to go. It is almost like a habit. My swing coach always advises me to keep practicing my pre-shot routine because on a bad day, my mind is usually on the fundamentals of the swing, instead of where I want the ball to go. On a good day I am in that rhythm of finding the yardage to the hole, selecting a club, and doing my pre-shot routine. However, It is very easy to forget to do your pre-shot routine. On a bad day Im storming up to the ball, pulling out a club, and hacking at it, needless to say, the ball doesn't go where I planned it to go because I didn't have time to think of where I wanted it to go.
