This was back when your caddie donned a hard hat and collected your balls after you hit them to him. Nine times out of ten, Jack' s caddie didn't have to move more than a step to pick up the ball. Once on the course, watch how the players are able to raise their concentration level before hitting a shot. No ball is struck without the same routine being run through time and time again. Professionals know that sticking to the same routine helps you play when the pressure heats up.
Some players relax between shots by conversing with their playing partners.
Some wouldn't talk to their own mothers during a round. Still others, like Fuzzy Zoeller or Lee Trevino, even enjoy talking to the gallery. Now that's a great way to win fans over and relax on the course. You can learn a lot about reading putts by watching the pros. They take note of the grain, hills, water, anything that can influence the ball on its roll into the cup.
