Monthly Golf Tips by the Mel Sole Golf School.
What do golf pros, amateurs, and weekend hacks have in common? We all get nervous on the first tee! But you don't have to let a case of first tee jitters ruin your opening drive. Watch this short video golf tip to learn the simple pre-shot routine and breathing technique that will help you take control and Handle First Tee Jitters Like a Pro.
Watch how I use visualization and breathing to calm first tee jitters!
Visualization.
Stand behind the ball for your first tee shot and visualize the ball sailing right down the middle of the fairway. I use my practice swing and visualization combined. After making my practice swing, I do my visualization as I hold my follow-through. I see a very powerful image of the golf ball flying right down the middle of the fairway. I use this technique with every shot I hit on the course, not only the first tee.
Breathing.
Take one deep breath and breath out just as you approach the ball. Pick a spot about 4 feet in front of the ball that is on like your intended target. Aim your clubface at that spot as if it was a short putt. Go ahead and align yourself to the clubface. Set the rest of your body parallel to that line.
Swing Away!
Make a smooth but aggressive swing at the ball. Don't try and steer the ball. Instead, bang it down the fairway and stick the follow-through! Well Done!
