How Tiger Prepares for a Round

This tip was posted at Golf Digest's website on Thursday, but GC mentioned Tiger doing this before his second round on Friday. Since it seems to have worked both days, we might as well take a quick look.

Tiger making a driver swing

This is a totally simple, very quick tip that makes so much experience. And in line with Butch Harmon, he is been using it for a long term:

?He?D practice the pressure he desired to hit off the first tee as his remaining swing before leaving the variety. He did it every single time.?
The post then recommends that you take three balls and go through your entire driver routine with each ball, exactly the way you'll do it when you tee off on the first tee. The idea is to visualize and actually feel the shot you plan to hit, then take it to the course.

However, we can add an additional guideline that isn't always in the article. We can add it because Tiger did not follow that rule Friday and GC's commentators observed it. You see, Tiger best used one ball for that driving force swing at the variety, then walked away... And striped his first drive proper down the center.

Apparently the three-ball guideline is most effective for days when the first ball does not sense proper.
