Tee Up Your Speech: Golf is Like Public Speaking

Tip #3

Have

confidence

that practice

will help.

If you dedicate time to practice, it will
make a difference. We know it is critical
to become a better golfer. You need the
repetitive practice of a good swing to
improve your performance.

Practice certainly applies to public
speaking. You should not memorize your speech. It will sound too robotic! Practicing and rehearsing
your speech will make it more familiar and it will flow more naturally.

Practice your introduction, the body of your talk, and your summary. You can do these in segments if
you don't have enough time. This will also help if you are interrupted during the presentation.

Don't forget to establish a practice routine for both golf and public speaking!
