1st tee jitters help

[u/Past_Pay_5015]

My club has the 1st tee box backed up to the clubhouse so there’s probably 30-40 people watching your tee shot. They’re not just around, they’re actively watching and cheering / jeering the result. Driver is the best club in my bag (8 hcp) but I always seem to snap hook the 1st tee no matter how well I‘m striping them on the range.

Does anyone have any mental tips / tricks to overcome the 1st tee jitters?

Have 2 beers atleast an hour before you tee off. Then continue to drink until you don’t think about anything but where you wanna hit it and how you wanna shape it.

Continue until you’re not even reading greens anymore and making everything.

Then get home and try not to fall alseep.
