Put the club away during long waits, reset routine

The coach's advice for a long wait is to not hold on to the club - put it down, don't even take it out of the bag, and go sit somewhere else, over in the shade away from your ball. When you see the group ahead finishing (the flag going back in), make your way back over, re-check the yardage even if you already know it, pull the club, and go through your routine. He says this keeps the flow going.
