No More First Tee Jitters

Without doubt -

- it is one of the most common problems in golf - the first tee jitters -

Luckily for you and I have a proven solution!

... courteous of George Beardsley.

He describes his magic formula to beating
your first tee jitters right here :

"People go from the driving range, where they
are relaxed and calm, to the first tee, where
they are anxious and nervous.

What causes this?

Could be a number of things

- from stage fright to uncertainty of technique.

But what ever the reason

-- there is one simple exercise that can help you
hit your best first tee shot.

When we're nervous or stressed, our heart rate
speeds up

-- so we have to slow it down.

And learning to breath properly is the quickest
way to get your heart rate under control.

So, before your next round of golf

-- try this simple breathing technique and you'll
find it much easier to hit that opening tee shot.

Start this process 10 minutes before tee off.

Get by yourself somewhere, whether on the range,
putting green or just off the first tee.

Then, clear your head and begin this simple
method to slow your heart rate.

** 4-7-8 Breathing Method **

Sit with your back straight.

Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge
of tissue just behind your upper front teeth,
and keep it there throughout the exercise.

Exhale through your mouth around your tongue
with your lips slightly pursed.

Follow these steps :

1. Empty your lungs, making a wooshing sound

2. Close your mouth and inhale through your
nose to a Mental count of 4.

3. Hold your breath for a count of 7.

4. Again, blow through your mouth. making a
wooshing sound to a count of 8.

** This is one breath.

Repeat the cycle 9 more times for a total
of 10 breaths.

Do it once or twice throughout the round in
stressful situations.

As you are doing your breathing exercises,
visualize the first tee shot and your ball
going right down the middle."
