What does your warm up routine look like?

Do you simply plop down a golf few balls on the putting green and knock them around for five or ten minutes making your way to the first tee?

If so you’re missing out on keying in on some vital practice time and no one knows this better than the world’s most elite players.

Players like Rory McIlroy know that in order to be the best you have to practice the hardest.  Sure these guys come equipped with seemingly inhuman athletic skills but that’s not truly what separates them from the pack.  The best golfers on the PGA TOUR are there because they practice for hours every single day.

If there is anything we can learn from this video its that every win in golf is earned.  There are no shortcuts or gimmicks that will bring you the golf game you’ve always dreamed of.  If you want to get there, you have to put in the work.

Now get out there and start practicing like Rory!
