Taking too many practice swings :
A good pre-shot routine should always consist of a practice swing or two . Taking 10 + practice swings in the hope you will be able to repeat that motion to actually hit your shot , is both excessive and not productive .
Always on your phone :
I am all for looking at your phone while on the course . Just make sure you ’ re ready to play your shot when it ’ s your turn .
Being late for your tee time :
A great way to not get invited back to play with your group is to not show up on time . If your tee time is 1:30pm , that doesn ’ t mean pulling into the parking lot or in the golf shop checking in at 1:30 . Be sure to arrive at the course at least 30-minutes before your tee time and to the first tee 10-minutes before your tee time .
See you on the course ,
