johnnydoom iirc, you say you do not watch golf, or hardly any. In our winters here, it is the only golf in town. I watch the players, all that they show anyway, and look at what they do on each shot. Then try to mentally file away anything noteworthy. Kind of like mental/visual practice for 4-5 months. Even now, at my age, I've picked up a couple things this winter, from both PGA & LPGA. Costs me nothing, and able to do this while working on something in my basement. I know that will never work for everyone, but it seems to help me be prepared for that 1st round. May sound odd, but hey, that's me. 😅
