Take It To The Course
On the range, during your WARM UP session (*please note a WARM UP session is different than a PRACTICE session) save the last 5-10minutes to “play” the first few holes on the range. For example, visualize the first fairway and the shots you need to hit. Go through your full pre-shot routine and play each shot as if you were already on the course. This will get you both physically and mentally prepared to take your best game to the first tee.Dodie Mazzuca is the Director of Instruction at Troon Country Club in Scottsdale, AZ (November – April).
