The First 9 · First tee
Calm checklist
Nervous is normal. Shrink the stage.
- Course: prefer a par-3 nine for the first loop.
- Bag: putter, 58°, pitching wedge only.
- Balls: cheap dozen — you will lose some.
- On the tee: one feel, then hit. Keep moving.
- If lost: provisional or drop — don’t hunt forever.
- Pace: ready golf when safe; let faster groups through.
- Permission: you are allowed to be bad at golf today.
