The 3 Steps that Should be in Every Pre-Shot Routine from PGA Coach David Franks
Published on
We all want to play more consistent golf. Whether you're an 18-handicap weekend warrior trying to best your buddies or nearing scratch and competing for your club championship, you're probably looking for a little edge over the competition.
David Franks, PGA, knows that the first step to playing your best golf is to make sure that you have a solid, repeatable pre-shot routine.
Frank's pre-shot routine includes these three important steps:
- Step back and visualize the shot completely
- Take 1-2 practice swings. Make sure you're efficient so you don't slow down the pace of play among your friends and/or competitors.
- Make sure you're properly aligned to your target.
If you follow these three steps, Franks promises you'll play your best golf yet.
