night before/morning of tourney routines?

[madman1101]

Just curious as to what you guys do to get yourself prepped the day before/morning of a tourney? I know plenty of rest and such is a main one for a lot of people but things i do:

• Clean my discs the night before
• Organize my discs the morning of
• visualize the course (if i've played it) as i'm getting ready for bed
• eat a good breakfast, duh

what about you guys? any weird/quirky things you do?

(if already posted, i apologize, i couldn't find it in search

Set up the tournament bag, clean if needed.
Check weather one last time to make sure I don't need any extra towels and ziplocks.
Start pulling out back ups just in case.
Place water or Gatorade in fridge and or freezer
Go through the course in my head until I realize I have stayed up way to late
Continue going through the course driving myself insane...
Hopefully sleep...
Do one last check to make sure I have everything I could need
Go through the course some more as I drive to the course lol

20 minutes of super short putts, like 15' or less.
Mark any unmarked discs.
Remind myself that I'm a grown man throwing frisbees and its all for fun.
Sleep.

*Prepare mentally for competitive rounds
*Drop deuce.

Go out and sleep on course with bottle.
Wake up and brush off leafs and debris.
Eat food out of nearest dumpster.
Stumble to practice putting, looking like a bum.
Yell incoherently at myself during warmups.
Pull a hammy muscle on first drive to ensure a valid excuse
Call foot faults on myself until i'm assured of losing.
Weeping apology to my card
Call ex-girlfriend and implore her to take me back
Quit job mid-round
Tell TD i don't like the player package

Just kidding...I'm super mellow and realize that i'm so lucky to be living and playing in Colorado. If i do well, that's just icing on the cake.

Wake up late, grab my bag, drive to the course, drive back home to get my water bottles, drive back to the course, stretch for about two seconds, throw two pathetic practice putts, step to the tee, underachieve and do worse than any practice round in months.


That's how I roll.

^^^ LOL!

IMO, if you have a "special" routine for tournament rounds other than your regular rounds you are putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Just relax and look at it as another day of golf. The only thing I would make sure to do is go thru the course in your head.

Night before...
I usually party with guys I havent seen in awhile.
Have Sex with my girlfriend
Pass out...

Morning of...
Bloody Mary or Bloody Beer and Breakfast
Drive to park
Put in HeadPhones
Sign Score Card
Stretch, Throw then Putt
Hangout out (I HATE player meetings)
...... 2 MINUTES

Works like a Charm

 

[scarpfish]

Pack my bag, pack the backup boxes, pack the cooler, get some ZZZ's, grab a banana and maybe hit Sonic on the way out.

Oh, and definitely drop a deuce.

No morning sex with GF??? Weak!

 

[Pwingles]

Get all my stuff ready the night before. Usually go out and have too much to drink. Play hungover and miserable.

 

[Lurp Nuts]

Pick up baskets, plant flags, sort change, secure pens, make calls, set up course, then hopefully i've brought my own bag for the show.

Hmm, that sounds like me. I once locked my discs (aside from putters) in my car, with my keys in there before a tourney. waiting for AAA to come open me up led to a HORRIBLE round - no warmup, major stress, ha.

Sleep.

This is a great piece of advice I need to remember.
