One of the challenges faced by all levels of golfers is expressed in this lament: “Why can’t I hit it on the course the way I was hitting it on the range? It feels so frustrating!” There are many reasons, one of which is purpose. When you are on the range before a round you are usually trying to get comfortable with the swing, seeing how it feels that day, looking for some swing key, and so on. Once we’re on the tee, it is about performance: hitting a good golf shot, avoiding making a mistake, and making a good impression. With such different purposes, it’s not surprising that we make different swings on the first tee than we did on the range. Another difference is consequence. On the range, if you hit a shot that doesn’t go where you expect it to, there’s no penalty. However, you don’t get to do that on the golf course. Fear of making a mistake introduces tension. Tension interferes with our tempo and the freedom with which we swing.
