Ideas of how to stay golf ready without golfing/practicing?

[CasualLie]

Good news: Game on fire lately..making more birdies, took down two of the top players back to back in matches, won a tournament this past Saturday in tough conditions.

Not so good news: I am on a plane soon, will not touch a club for nearly two weeks, have a 10 hour flight the day before my match play final.

So any tips / ideas of what to work on in the hotel room? My current strategy is not to even think about it, F it!...and do my usual fun times in London. Get home on the 31st, get a good night sleep, get to the course early for some range work before the match and whatever happens happens.

Play the course in your head, over and over. Really get into it. See the shots in your minds eye. Feel the swings. Then try to have fun.

stay mentally tough

Yoga or some sort of exercises with stretching and flexibility involved, even just every other day so not to get in the way of your fun! Try to keep limber - or even just get out and walk or jog the hotel parking lot. If you are in an area - find an old used sporting goods store or Goodwill, buy an old wedge or 9 iron - usually $5 - and most hotels you will have room to swing it at night. One place I stay on biz - I picked up foam balls, room in the back of hotel to swing at night. Then just leave the club behind. Good luck , travel safe.

Parmark...that's a great idea. There is a golf shop near London Bridge and I will just grab anything out of the used barrel. Probably not much to pick from and definitely more than $5, but that's ok. Any of you walking by the Shard watch out next week for a golf ball coming through the window on the 49th floor!

Grip it and rip it. One hole and you will be in the groove.
