Do you ever feel a bit jittery on the first tee? If we're honest with ourselves, most of us feel nervous on that first shot - especially if we are playing with golfers we don't know well, or golfers we do know who are very good players. Then, there's no doubt about it - the first few holes of a round can be stressful!
Experienced golfers know that the best way to eliminate the negative thoughts that bring the fearful emotions during the first few holes of a round is to replace them with positive ones.
Here's a few tips to help you do the same:
- Make a plan. Instead of focusing your mind solely on your f
irst tee shot try coming up with a plan for how you will play the first few holes. Most importantly think about the POSITIONS you want to put yourself in and what shots you will have to hit to get there. If your plan involves hitting 3 or 4 of the best shots of your career all in your first few holes it might be time to dial that plan back a little bit. Starting your round with high percentage plays that you know you can nail will do wonders for your confidence.
- Don't get suckered in. When you're lining up the first few approach shots of your round it's extremely easy to get suckered in and shoot right for the flag stick. The problem? Many times those pins have been set to punish players who hit anything less than a perfect shot. The solution? Aim for the middle of the green on your first 3 holes. If you get hot with your irons later in your round you can start shooting for those tough pins. Otherwise just focus on getting your ball on the green.
- Keep the Proper Perspective. Bottom line, or if/when all else fails, keep aBIG PICTURE perspective as to what you are really doing... playing a game! You are on a beautiful golf course about to tee up a ball and have FUN hitting a little ball ball down a beautiful fairway... nothing more, nothing less! Keep in mind that, even if you totally mess up and miss the ball completely, the worse thing that could happen would be... you missed the ball! Nobody died...the world did not come to and end! Take a big breath, and smile. Don't take yourself so seriously, and remind yourself that everything is going to be alright! Pretty soon, the jitters melt away - completely!
These tips will help you replace the first hole jitters with the calm and confidence you need to get your round rolling in the right direction.
Hope this information helps your play this week... and for the remainder of your season!

FACT: 80% of shots golfers lose to par are within 100 yards of the hole.

...then you can save a bunch of shots every round by simply improving your short game.
If you do, it's likely that, if anything, you'll probably get worse because you'll no doubt be missing one key ingredient needed for short game success.
Instead, what you need is a proven program that will teach you the
ONE secret you need to have a great short game... the short game secret
I've discovered from the
top golf instructors
here at the
Cantigny Golf Academy
.
The top tour pro's do this secret naturally and automatically. And you often hear them talking about it.
But there's not one product, physical exercise and/or swing drill that focuses on this secret needed for the average golfer to have a great short game... until now!
This secret to the short game information can be completely found within
my new eBook,
So if you're sick of your short game costing you lots of shots, then get this digital eBook now... while it's on special.
It will provide you with the mental-physical-mechanical 'secret' necessary to improve your short game. So go here now to start improving your short game now...
Here's some of the amazing feedback from golfers who have been through this program in the past:
"My short game was terrible before starting this program. I felt like an idiot every time I would fat a shot hardly getting the ball out of my shadow. So I was desperate for a solution and that's why I tried this program. I am so happy to tell you that not only did it turn things around but now my short game has gone from being the worst part of my golf game to the best! I had tried so many things to fix my short game but nothing worked until I found the secret to the short game info within Dr. Callaway's Golf Mastery eBook. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have helped me to have something I never thought possible -- a great short game!"
- Bill Anderson, Greensboro, NC
"
Before discovering the 'secret' short game information found in Dr. Paul Callaway's Golf Mastery eBook, I would duff at least 5 - 7 chip and pitch shots every
round. Since practicing this information and having the 'secret' elements fully integrate into my short game, I have gone from a mid 90's shooter down to a mid 80's shooter. Not only have I stopped duffing my chip and pitch shots but all my other short game shots are going much closer to the hole. I've experienced an easy '10 shot' improvement in my game and I cannot recommend this eBook enough. It is very well put together and focuses on the most important part of the short game to lower a golfers score."
- Mary Robinson, Eugene, OR

It's always great to receive positive feedback from clients I work with about how their custom golf fitness training and total wellness and performance programs are working for them to feel better and play better golf.
Check out what, Walter N., had to say during his recent on-line, remote Skype session this week...
"Dear Dr. Paul,
Thanks so much for completing my Initial Evaluation and customizing my fully-remote 'on-line
' golf fitness training and performance program. I have been doing the exercises you designed for me for the past two weeks and I can feel a big difference in my flexibility already. My stiff left hip and lower back feel much, much better and the last round I played felt so much more fluid and comfortable to complete my full swing.
I'm excited about the next group of exercises that you will be sending me based on the progress I've made so far. I'm loving this program and only wish I would have started sooner!"
