Simple Golfing Pointers - How to Tee Off in Front of a Crowd

Although a highly competitive sport at professional level

, for us amateurs, golf is best seen as a game you play against yourself. Trying to iron out the imperfections and improve your overall play and consistency. Following are some simple instructions on how to cope with some of the great games situations.

Teeing of in front of a crowd.

Relax. Try to see the first shot as any other shot of the round and do not alter the tempo of your game. Ignore any comments from the crowd waiting to play and dont rush any aspect of your pre-shot routine.

Make sure you have properly warmed up. Stretch so you increase the blood flow to your body and take as many practice swings as needed.

Release the tension. Identify where you feel tense and try to relax that area of your body. Notice the difference and take a deep breath - in through your nose and out through the mouth - before you hit the ball.

Tune in to your feelings towards that first shot,. If you are feeling nervous, anxious or to judgmental towards your game you most likely will not be able to produce your true golf swing. Replace those feelings with positive energy. Choose to feel confident and content. Remember when you played your best and try to generate these thoughts until you are ready to play.

Be confident about your abilities. If you strike the ball 200 yards 80% of the time you will most likely hit the ball in that area this time also. Recognise that the first tee is a foundation for the rest of your days golf game.

Make sure to pick the club you feel most comfortable with. This will not necessarily be your driver. Use a long iron or 3 wood if the driver is not your best club off the tee.

Follow your routine. Hold on to your established way of playing. Dont alter the way you approach the tee, how many practice swings you take, how you set your stance and at what moment you start your swing. Following a routine is especially important on the first tee.

Don't over-analyze your swing. If you cease to over think your golf swing, the muscle memory will complete the swing for you. Do not over swing in an effort to hit the ball further.

Keep your focus. Choose a single spot of the fairway and keep your aim to that spot.
