81: Your Pre-Shot Routine is Costing You 3-5+ Strokes

About this episode

Your pre-shot routine (or lack thereof) is costing you 3–5 strokes every round and I'll prove it in this episode. 

Think about it, pre-shot routines are part of sports; NFL kickers have one when they line up for a field goal and basketball players at the free-throw line. Each player develops their own pre-shot routine to stay focused and feel confident. The same goes with golf. 

Helen Alfredsson described the importance of a pre-shot routine in the book A Good Swing Is Hard to Find. She stated, "A pre-shot routine helps you build a cocoon around yourself. This is the mysterious zone that athletes refer to longingly. But there's nothing mysterious about it."

A pre-shot routine is one of the few things you can control. It will help you analyze the shot, stay calm, improve pace of play, and transfer your range game to the golf course. 

In today's episode we cover the European Tour study that tracked 20,000+ shots and shows why ALL golfers need a pre-shot routine. You'll learn:

  • Why you need a faster routine
  • How every type of golfer can benefit from a set of pre-shot rituals
  • How a routine can give you a 90% better chance to make short putts 

And so much more.
