How different players prepare for a round fascinates me, as there as so many different approaches and contrasting attitudes to a warm-up in golf.
Some players, like me, tend to arrive very early and go through the bag to shake off the rust – and desperately trying to find a centred strike with driver. This can have it’s benefits, but I also tend to get in my own head a little bit when things don’t go to plan on the range.
Others arrive five minutes before their off, stumble out of the car and sprint to the first tee without even hitting a ball – which is quite frankly ludicrous.
We aren’t expecting you to bust out the 10 best golf exercises in the car park, but going in cold is almost certainly going to hold you back in the scoring department, so what should you be doing instead?
To be honest, we probably need to find a happy medium between my obsessive state and the almost horizontal laid back approach.
So, once you have hit a few (and I mean a few) balls on the range to warm up those muscles, make sure you leave 10 minutes before your tee time to try Clive Tucker’s expert pre-round prep routine… you won’t regret it!
Ultimate 10-Minute Pre-Round Preparation Routine For Golfers
We can all be guilty (sometimes) of spending a little too long with the driver or irons in hand before a round, if you make time for a warm-up at all, but this often means neglecting the equally important aspects of short game and putting.
Warming up with the flatstick is something that all good putters do, so don’t be left behind due to poor timekeeping or a misguided need to rip one more with your driver before you walk over to the first tee.
In this perfect pre-round preparation routine, Golf Monthly Top 50 Coach Clive Tucker explains how you can spend your last 10 minutes like a pro, utilising the time to prime your putting prowess and get comfortable on the greens.
