Yea Sparko hit some balls.

Try this as well. Take a deep breath for a count of 5. Hold it for a count of 10 and let it out for a count of 15. Do this a few times before the first tee shot and any important putt. It oxygenates you really well and calms you down and gives you a focus.

Here's my warm up routine, I cut a couple of shots off my handicap due to this.

Arrive at least an hour early.

Get all your gear sorted out properly so theres no rushing for tees/balls/clubs etc at the moment of truth. This should take about 5 minutes

Swing two clubs for 5 minutes to loosen up then do some stretching.

Go to the putting green and spend 10 minutes putting from random places to random holes.

Do some chipping for 5 minutes, hit 3 balls to the same hole, try and get all 3 inside tap in range at least once.

Spend another 10 minutes hitting 25 2 footers then 25 4 footers then 25 10 footers. Repeat to use up the 10 minutes.

Go and spend 15 minutes hitting balls into a practice net. 5 balls with each club in the bag. Take your time dont just beat balls. It doesnt matter if you get through the bag.

Spend another 5 minutes doing a bit more stretching. Arrive on the tee 5 minutes early and get your game ball and driver out, swing the driver nice and easy to stay loose until its time to hit the drive, make sure you study the drive and choose the best line.

Remember the breathing. I got that from a friend lately and have been using it. I had three or four testing 6 footers the last round I played and used it before the putts and holed them all, coincedence? I think not....

Remember.....enjoy the game, theres no point competing if you dont enjoy the game and the company, you would be better playing for fun if thats the case. You wont always win.....you have to lose to appreciate winning. Every loss is a lesson.
