Routines

Everyone has thier own daily routines.  I know I have mine.  Coffee before work, two showers a day, 3 workouts a week, eating habits, etc.  Normally we do those things without thinking too much because we have made them a part of who we are.  A solid pre shot or post shot routine should work the same way.  A routine in golf gets you prepared and comfortable to do your thing.  It should be consistant.  tiger's pre shot putting routine takes 17 seconds...every time.  When the pressure is on your routine will get you through it unscathed!  Your routine should be very individual.  don't copy someone else's.  Do what works best for you.  There is no rule that says you have to take 3 practice swings before each shot.  Especially if you shoot in the 100's...How annoying and tiresome.  It should be the same every time.  Have you ever watched the guys on TV?  There are some weird routines.  Hat grabbing, shirt pulling, eyes closed, tapping, stepping, licking, etc.  the way Jim Furyk hitches up his pants with his palms is so annoying.  JB Holes balking while he tries to line up...wow..and VJ Singh leaning sideways after a shot that is going right for the pin..AKA a pinseeker.  But maybe he has to lean sideways to see the pin because he hits it so straight.  Keep your routines quick, to the point, and in good hygine.  Haha.  If your superman undies are stuck somewhere on a hot day..just leave them there!
