When it comes to warming up, Phil Mickelson has plenty of boxes he needs to check until he’s ready to make his way to the first tee.
From stretching out to activating his muscles to dialing in his swing fundamentals — and plenty more in-between — the six-time major champion spends as much time getting ready for a round as some amateurs do playing a few holes.
Obviously, Mickelson knows what works, as he’s one of the greatest golfers of all time. So while we may never be able to hit it like him on the course, we can learn a few things about preparing ourselves to play our best.
In a recent episode of GOLF’s Warming Up, Mickelson talked to our Dylan Dethier about a number of topics. As someone who really struggles with approach shots under 100 yards, I took a keen interest in hearing Mickelson’s tips about those types of shots.
So take a look below to see the two variables Mickelson says every golfer must know (and understand!) in order to dial in your distances from under 100 yards. Chances are good that his info will help you improve, and, who knows, you may transform into the pin-seeker that you’ve always dreamt of becoming.
