When it comes to warming up, women can be lazy. For whatever reason, we always find an excuse to be running onto the first tee with little consideration given to the preparation required to play good golf. Then we wonder why we mishit shots and score so badly.
I’m just as guilty of this as anyone else. I’m a working mum who often comes screeching into the car park straight from the school run, grabs my scorecard in the pro shop and dashes down to the first tee with only minutes to spare. I’ve become so good at doing this that I’m actually able to play without even having swung a club in the net before striking my first tee shot! I know that I set a terrible example to newcomers.
