A pre-shot routine is one of the few constants in golf that all good players (pros & ams) have in common and something that you can control. It's also something you can and should develop in the offseason.  Here's why... A pre-shot routine will also help you: Stay calm and focused Improve your pace of play Block out negative thoughts  Find your target and commit to a shot Take your range game to the golf course  But most importantly, it will help you get into the zone. When your pre-shot routine becomes automatic, you can easily get in the zone and let your subconscious take over. This is where greatness comes and it’s almost an out-of-body experience.  To get these benefits on the golf course, you need to first create your routine on the range. In this episode we'll cover: Why you need a waggle How bad routines lead to meltdowns The importance of breath in your golf swing  Why you need to analyze the lie before picking a club The correct amount of time to spend over the golf ball Master your pre-shot routine in golf to save 3–5 shots per round by grabbing the free Pre-Shot Routine Checklist.
