What do you do the day before a tournament?

[Moose33]

I try to stay hydrated, eat okay. Do a limited # of shots in the feild and putts to make sure I'm not doing any wonky form things.

 

[Thumber]

Whatever my wife wants me to do

 

[DiscFifty]

Not get any sleep and take an 8 on a hole plus an extra 2 strokes for not turning in the right score. At least that's what I did on this past sat at a PDGA tournament. #rediculous

Play a round for fun usually. Avoid playing too many holes, and especially avoid taking too many putts. A long putting routine, if you get down in an athletic stance, is an unnecessary waste of energy and can sap you more than you realize. Keep the tension low, deal with learning lines and courses in the day or days before the day before the tournament, get some good food in you, make sure you sleep, and just relax in general.

I'm usually doing last minute work to the course. Checking OB stakes/rope/etc. TD stuff.
Then i play a round.

Come home from work, eat, stay up too late and then spend 2 hours trying to sleep because I'm excited for the tournament :|

This is me. Totally.

 

[ejvogie]

Yup. I normally get 4 hours or less of fitful sleep

Figure out what courses the tournament is being played on so I can go elsewhere and play 3 rounds before the the first tourney round is done.

The day before a tourney I typically try to limit myself to some solid putting practice. Let the arm and body rest up while making sure the putting game is on.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[Johnny Conservative]

I just work on anhyzer shots in a field and putting practice.

I am right there with you. Please stop doing this though, I'd like the course to myself. Thanks.

I always like the idea of a day of rest before hand, but that rarely happens. I'll usually play a round or two the day before. I travel for most of my tournaments so playing the tournament course is never really an option for me. Get a good night sleep is usually my main goal.

 

[DavidSauls]

Well, on this past Saturday before a Sunday-only tournament, I played a different course, very grueling, with just a 149g Roc. Why? I have no idea. Also did about 1 1/2 hours of course work at 100 degrees, just so I could go off and play an entirely different course and not benefit from the work I'd just done. Why? I have no idea. My only conclusion is that, I may have a strategy for tournament preparation, but that doesn't mean I have to employ it.

I watch spaceballs an young Frankenstein every night before a tournament usually an putt a lot.
