Depending on your travel distance, plan to arrive around 8 a.m. This allows time to change shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, and organize your clubs and balls. After that, check in at the golf shop, purchase a small bucket of practice balls, and load your clubs onto a cart.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"976\">Avoid lingering over conversation or coffee, which can increase tension rather than help you relax. Instead, make a quick restroom stop, then head to the practice range to loosen up. Begin with stretching, then practice short pitches &mdash; the shots you&#8217;ll rely on when you miss a green. Follow with a few short-iron swings and gradually work your way up to the driver. Take note of what your swing is doing that day and make small adjustments as needed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"1421\">With proper pacing, you&rsquo;ll reach the first tee with a few minutes to spare &mdash; calm, prepared, and not rushed. When it&#8217;s time to hit your opening shot, focus on a smooth, easy swing to get the ball in play. If things are going well as the round progresses, you can add a little more speed later. You&rsquo;ve done the work &mdash; don&rsquo;t let a playing partner or opponent rush you or knock you out of rhythm. Time management is key, both in golf and in life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1520\">For more information about golf instruction, contact Robin All, PGA Life Member, at 803-238-1655.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golf Tips for Seniors: Time Management By Robin All How early should you arrive at the golf course for a 9 a.m. tee time?
