Taking Dead Aim-How A Pro Prepares
Monday Mornings have always been my favorite times to go to the golf course that is hosting a tournment beginning on Thursday.
All is quiet, peaceful, and fairly deserted. I usually walk the course, take some pictures, and look for changes in the venue, coure setup, etc.
Occassionally, you stumble upon what I did this week at The Wells Fargo Championship. It was just past 10 in the morning when I came upon Sang Moon Bae in the 18th Fairway. What followed over the next few minutes was a brilliant illustration of how a pro golfer prepares for a tournament.
Things to take notice of:
- The amound of time these guys spend around the greens chipping, putting, sand shots
- How very few of these practice shots are to the current hole location. Players have a pretty good idea where the pin placements will be throughout the tournament, so they practice to those locations.
If you take notice, and practice/prepare like a pro, chances are you’ll fair better in your next tournament.
