What is a Golf Shot Routine?

No matter the endeavour, if you want to get it done well, there is always a process to achieving the outcome you desire. Golf is no different.

If you want to hit good golf shots, you have to follow the proven processes necessary to achieve success.

A golf shot routine is a series of mental and physical actions that a golfer goes through before, during and after hitting a shot.

A good golf shot routine will include the following steps:

The 6 phases of a golf shot routine

The 6 steps or phases a golfer goes through to hit good golf shots can be summarised as below.

  1. A golfer assesses the situation and gathers information about the shot they are about to hit

  2. A golfer uses the information and makes a decision about the shot

  3. A golfers rehearses the decision physically or mentally or a combination of the two

  4. A golfer gets set up to play the shot

  5. A golfer makes a swing and plays the shot

  6. A golfer observes the shot, learns from it and moves on to the next shot

These 6 phases don’t always need to happen one after the other, sometimes they happen concurrently, but the fact remains that they all need to happen if you want to give yourself a chance of hitting good golf shots.

Golf shot routines have never been documented in detail and it’s been a bit of a mystery to golfers to understand exactly where things went wrong as far as the mental game goes.
