Improving Your Golf Score
Edwin Shackleford
In all sports, it is essential that you warm up properly to
attain the best performance. If you go to any professional or
even amateur sporting event, you will see competing athletes
doing pre-game warm-ups. Golfers, especially those in the
professional level, are not different from them. When tour
professionals are about to begin their first tee, they would
have made full warm-ups to be able to make their best swings.
However, most amateurs have their “warm-ups” done by racing
from their autos to the shop and check in, then dashing to
their first tee, in just about five minutes. Most of the time,
this is followed by an unsteady and inconsistent play for the
first holes, ending up with another lackluster round. The
result: Disappointing golf scores.
Here are some tips for you for improving your golf score.
• First, go to the golf course as early as possible. You need
time in taking care of your matters in the shop, in using the
restroom, changing clothes and shoes, among others. It is
crucial that you do not feel pressured or rushed, allowing you
to get warmed up at a relaxed pace. Remember that your warm-up
time sets your mood and tempo throughout the day, so just relax
and move slowly. A minimum of an hour or two before you begin
hitting your first tee would probably help you get a nice and
relaxed warm-up.
• Start your warm-up routine at the putting green. By spending
some time on warming up on the green, you will be ready for the
speed of the greens. More importantly, you will start up your
day with a nice, deliberate, and smooth tempo.
• Spend about 10 minutes or so trying to hit the chips around
the green using a tee as your target. First test the greens’
firmness to see how much or less the golf ball will roll. In
general, the ball tends to move more on hard greens than the
soft greens. In addition, there are various kinds of rough
which make the ball move differently when it touches the green.
Spending some time around the green helps you to have some
thoughts on choosing the great greenside shots during your
round, and also, the spots where you are landing the golf ball
on the putting surface.
Remember: If you do not get enough warm-up, you should not
expect to have an optimal performance, and consequently, a good
golf score.
