well i usually do one pratice swing then let her rip. i agree spending to much time at your ball is a bad idea. some others wont think so such as the laggers on the PGA. tiger woods on the wii will help u break a slump or a bad swing. well it helped me with my 3 weeks slice i had going there. i played this weekend at los positas golf course in livermore ca and i played good. shot a 83. hot as hell though. no wind no nothing just u standing dry heat. no beers though only water. i learned my lesson on fathers day when i got dehydrated. well good golfing to you golfers.
