Question: How Can I Get My Nerves Under Control on the First Tee Shot of the Day?

Answer: Gary's Quick Tip:

Taking time to warm up will help you prepare mentally before a round. For the first tee shot, take the club that you have the most confidence with, regardless of distance. Distance off the tee is not always an advantage.

And learn from the pros. Take a practice swing, focus on the target and stick to your routine.
