Establishing a Strong Pre-Shot Routine Can Help Calm Your Nerves

The game creates a number of nerve-wracking moments in any given round. From the first-tee jitters to standing over a sneakily difficult par putt, your nerves are bound to kick in from time to time.
When you're facing a difficult carry over a bunker or need to escape through the trees, sometimes it's best to take a step back & focus on your pre-shot routine.
PGA Coach Chris Lempa, a Golf Instructor at Coronado Golf Course in the Southern California Section, has a simple mindset for you to take to help calm the nerves and attack the shot before you even address the ball.
