Build a short pre-shot routine, commit before you step in

For golfers who don't have a pre-shot routine, Rotella says the first thing is to get one and make it as short and simple as possible. Don't step up to the ball until you've picked a target and committed to the shot you're going to hit. A simple template he suggests is one look and one waggle, or two looks and two waggles.
