Lower Your Score Easily
Improve Your Golf Performance With These 5 Tips
Improve your golf performance. Is this always on your mind? When you go out
to golf you?re hoping for a good round. I know I do.
How often does your outcome match what you hoped for? Do you usually shoot
the scores you had envisioned before you teed off? If not, do you ever evaluate
where and how you could have saved strokes and avoided those blow up holes?
I?ve got 5 easy tips for you to implement immediately that will improve your
golf performance by shaving 4-6 or even more strokes off your score the next
time you play. Give them a try and see what happens. Here they are:
1. First off you?ve got to put the proper fuel in your body before you leave
home. Most golfers don?t give it a second thought. They either don?t eat at all
before they leave home or they eat something that is not going to give them the
long-term energy they?re hoping for. So whether it?s lunch or breakfast before
you leave you need to consume a complex carbohydrate and a good protein source.
This combination will warrant the best use of your energy for the long haul.
An example for breakfast would be a bowl of oatmeal and a couple of egss with
a piece of fruit or a juice. For lunch you could have a turkey sandwich on whole
wheat with a piece of fruit. Lot?s of lettuce on the sandwich and try to avoid
mayonnaise or butter.
2. The second tip is to properly warm up your body before you even hit your
first ball. I see so many golfers show up 5 minutes before tee time, hack a few
balls and head to the first tee. Those golfers are headed for a double bogey
right off the bat - but hey they?re just getting ?warmed up? right?
A better approach is to give yourself at least 30 minutes before your tee
time. First do some dynamic (movement oriented) stretches to prepare your body
to perform. Things like arm circles, partial squats, toe touches, etc. Then take
some half swings with a 7 iron. Now after that you?re ready to hit some wedges.
You?ll find with this approach your hits on the range will be much better, which
will build your confidence.
3. Drink lots of water even before you leave your house. Try to consume up to
a gallon of Water before you get to the course. This will help you absorb and
digest your pre-game meal and hydrate your muscles for optimal performance.
Don?t take this lightly. Dehydration causes energy loss, lack of focus and
concentration and fatigue later in the round. And remember, that?s before you
even come to the course. Once you get their you should be drinking water every
hole.
4. Don?t wait ?til you get tight to stretch on the course. You should be
constantly moving your body and stretching your joints while you play. I see and
hear too many golfers complaining of tight lower backs or shoulders during the
round, What amazes me is that with all that complaining they do nothing about
it. Why? Think of your body as a machine. If the machine starts to break down ?
fix it. I mean stretch those areas while you?re playing. You?ll see a big
difference in your swing mechanics late in the round.
5. Snack while you play. No I don?t mean the full meal at the turn with a
beer. I mean bringing fruit and nutrition bars to eat every 4-6 holes. When you
supply your body with the proper nutrients your energy levels stay balanced and
you will avoid those mental lapses late in the round. How many times have you
had a good score only to blow up late in the round? I?ll bet more than a couple
of times. I know I have. Treat your body like a Ferrari not a Ford Pinto.
These tips if applied, will definitely improve your golf performance!
