About this ebook
Part of the ‘20 Minute Golf Tune-Up’ series, this book is designed to get golfers consistently shooting lower scores.
This Pre-Shot book looks at what golfers can do before they get onto the course (goal-setting, self-reflection, imagery) and when playing (the crucial pre-shot routine itself). Effective pre-shot routines (as well as post-shot, and post-mistake routines) enable golfers to play their best golf when it matters most. Implementing the techniques listed in this book will help provide effective preparation, and a structure that leads to increased focus, better practice, smoother actions, and a heightened control of distractions.
This book and the techniques within - in the space of a 20-minute read - will help identify and cement your pre-shot activities and routines, and improve your golf game.
