Golf Wisdom
Lessons from the course — strategy, feel, and the art of playing smart golf.
Pre-Shot Routine
Every great shot begins before you swing. Stand behind the ball, pick your target, visualise the flight, then step in and commit. A consistent pre-shot routine removes doubt and gives your body a familiar path to follow.
— Lynnette Brooky
Playing One Shot at a Time
The course is won or lost in your mind. Forget the last hole. Don't count the next three. This shot — right now — is all that exists. Full presence on each shot is what separates good rounds from great ones.
— Lynnette Brooky
Managing Mis-hits
Every player on tour hits bad shots. The difference is the response. Accept it, assess it briefly, then let it go completely. Carrying a bad shot into the next one costs you double.
— Lynnette Brooky
Trusting Your Swing on the Course
Trust what you're building — not what you've built. Trust the structure you have. Trust the situations you feel. And trust that, when something needs attention, you can amend it while you play. The course is where you let your growing game come out and breathe.
— Lynnette Brooky
Reading the Wind
Feel the wind on your face, watch the tops of the trees, toss a little grass. Learn to see the course as a partner, not an obstacle. The wind is information — use it.
— Lynnette Brooky
Choosing Where to Put the Ball
Trust that the best place to put the ball is where you have enough ground for error — room on both sides, left and right, that still accommodates a good straight shot. If one is off slightly, it is still a great place to be, especially if the ball finished closer to where you wanted to go. And always, from the first tee to your last shot into the 18th, walk into the shot. Visualise how you hit the ball before you play it — see the ball fly and drop on the green, right where you want it to be. Information is key.
