That takes much less time than someone taking 3-4+ practice swings, then changing clubs and doing the same routine. Not nearly as long as plumb-bobbing every putt from every angle, either.

Speaking of professionals have you ever followed them for a practice round? They break all kinds of rules. Do you think that unless there is a match between friends or a club tournament going on, that any of the rounds played here by casual golfers are anything more than practice rounds?
