Are you and over thinker?

Are you an over thinker when you play golf?

Here is a guide to see if you are an over thinker:
1) You run a check list of things to do or not to do while standing over the ball

2) Give the ball a long death stare and building up tension the HIT the ball

3) Over the ball for more than 2 seconds standing still

4) Trying to remember what time your next appointment is after golf 

I could go on, but I think you get the picture

Every successful golfer has a routine before they swing the club. It might not work out every time but the consistency will be a lot higher than if they didn't.

Here are a few ways to help you with your routine.
1) Keep it smooth and have some flow to it. Avoid the long drawn one that makes it hard to do the same thing every time

2) Practice swing that is just like what your actual swing will be

3) Focus on target from behind the ball

4) Step up to the ball, club first to the ball, set feet and GO. 
5) Swing the club to the target, hold that finish.
