I try to make my actual swing replicate the practice.  I usually take 2 practice swings. The first is an exaggerrated swing to reinforce hip turn and downswing path.  Then I set up next to the ball, and try to incorporate...

Tem-po, tem-po, tem-po!   Starting with the putter, through the wedges, irons, and woods.  As of right now, I feel like I have finally "figured out" my putting stroke - I have avoided 3-putting over my last few rounds...

Par 71, 69.7/118/6260 yds. Typically 5 hours and 30 minute delay from original tee-time.   I answered "always", because I play most of my golf at NYC/Long Island public courses.  There are just too many people in the area...
