Trigger or pre shot routine

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Hogan was adamant that a good strongle waggle was the essential trigger for your backswing.

3!
I'd get stuck halfway down the first

I find it best to stop chatting to the other guys as I am taking the club back.

That can be a problem too?

Why not become your own caddy?

When you get to the ball. Talk to yourself through the options you have. What has happened previously, what you want to avoid and what you would like to do.

Saying it out loud would be best if you are prone to concentration lapses.

Very good Gar i like that

I'm not sure I even know what I do.
It's instinctive, I don't actually think about it..whatever I do.. I just do.
I'm more focussed on the shot than making sure I've waggled the club 3 times and dipped my knees twice
Does that make sense?

yep asked a mate off 1 what he does . He had to think hard and still wasnt sure

Best hurry as category 1, 2 , 3 etc will be a thing of the past soon.

Absolutely hate seeing waggles. Just doesn’t work with any real swing feeling IMO.
Always tend to be used by players that pick the club up and take it back inside before throwing the club at the top.
Personally, My pre swing is all done before addressing. Make sure I grip the club the same way every time before seeing my shot (short of like Adam Scott does with his pre shot). Once over the ball no thoughts other than the shape I want to play.

Cat 1 is only relevant to handicap adjustments.

Our first division is up to 10.

I can't tell you what do but I can tell what not to do,and that is don't give yourself a golf lesson on your downswing

less is more as the saying goes

I used to have a really slow back swing, making sure I hit my parallel and top positions. Imagine Peter Crouch celebrating a goal. One slow test, one still slow proper swing.
In my last lesson before Christmas we dropped that and build a rhythm and I now hit the ball much better. Up down bang.

I have gone the other way. I use to swing too fast. Blink and you miss it. When timing was o it was great but if it was slightly off or technique was lacking then I was a mess. Looking at a much smoother tempo and a far less jerky takeaway. I struggle when trying to hit set positions so feel the better tempo simply gives me time to complete the swing make the transition and give the hips etc time to clear

In software development that's called Rubber Ducking. You get a colleague and talk them through the problem/propose solution, and by the time you've finished you know what you need to do. They can basically be replaced wit ha rubber duck.

I find shouting at the ball as it's in the air works wonders too. If it's good enough for spieth. Haha

As I watch one sail out of bounds by 100 yards I like to shout “bite, BITE!”

Takes the sensation of doom out of it
