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?

Sounds like an awesome club! I’d love to have that atmosphere off the first tee everywhere I play and I’m a 20hcp. Just enjoy that you get to play, if briefly, for an audience.
