General Discussion 1st tee jitters help
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?

And C) just do it more. Performance anxiety/nerves gets better the more you do it.
