Pre Round Warm Up

We all know the feeling of having only a few minutes to warm up before a round of golf, a round that may be our first in quite some time. Typically the average golfer will go straight to the driver and hit 15-20 balls as fast as they can before heading to the first tee. This is the WORST way to start off before your round of golf!

Ben Hogan wrote in detail how on tournament days he was extra meticulous the morning before a round, down to little details like making a conscious effort to walk slower, make his morning coffee slower, etc. The point is to set a tone for a nice smooth swing tempo. So resist the temptation of starting off with the driver and you should find it easier to find your tempo for the round.
