On Sunday I decided to take 30 minutes and get my arms warmed up on the driving range at SummerBrook. Low and behold I realised how bad my swing was after being dormant for 3 weeks. However, after 10 minutes of hit and miss at the tee, I finally regained my stride. All I had to do was relax. Its that simple. You just can't accomplish anything by playing tense. For me, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, then gripping the club as if it was made of glass, gentle, yet firm really did the trick.

I agree! Sometimes after setting up at the ball I will grip the my club firmly and just before starting my takeaway I relax and loosen my grip. Relaxing usually redefines my anxiety and my tempo which makes such a difference expecially when using my driver.
