Picture
 Do you have trouble staying present when you play?
Once you have a bad score, do you have trouble recovering?
When you are playing well, do you get ahead of yourself and add up your score?

If you answered yes, try dividing up your round into 3 hole segments. Decide what "your par" is and then make it a goal to make that score over a 3 hole period. For example, if you shoot in the low to mid 80s, focus on finishing each 3 hole segment with a score of 2 over par. Whether you achieve the goal or not, once the 3 holes are done, you start fresh on the next 3 holes. Here is what to do:
  1. Decide your par by taking your average score and dividing by 6
  2. Draw clear lines on your scorecard (see above) to delineate the 3 hole segments
  3. Practice mentally letting go of each 3 hole segments once they are completed whether the score was positive, neutral or negative (You have a clean slate on the tee box of Hole 4, Hole 7, etc.)

When you can compartmentalize your round, you will have a much easier time recovering and focusing. Try this scorecard trick to help you mentally stay in the game.

There are many reasons for this but usually golfers work on keeping the lower body quiet to reduce a sway or to “keep still”. While this makes sense, it is a distance killer and creates unnecessary pressure on the lower back.

Here are some tips to help you move better in the backswing:
1. Make sure you are in an athletic stance to start (neutral posture)
2. Begin the backswing with your arms and torso
3. Allow the lower body to move to help get more torque at the top of the backswing (See the pictures below illustrating the differences with and without hip turn)
4. Try this drill from the experts at the Titleist Performance Institute to get those hips in gear

*Swing Tip Suggestion: think of moving your torso or belly button rather than just your shoulders in the backswing to help your hips rotate more in the backswing

Next time you are at the range, add a little but more hip turn to really help your low back,  improve your length of backswing, and give you more distance. Happy Practicing!
 
Important Note: See the difference in length of backswing and torque in the photos above
