I'm messing around with my diet right now, and a big part of those changes is that I'm eating a lot of nuts right now. In fact, there's a canister of Emerald deluxe mixed nuts sitting next to my keyboard as I'm typing. I notice anytime that I'm eating mixed nuts that by the time I reach the bottom of the can, the only nuts that are left are the ones I don't like.

So, I'm curious of other people's opinions on this matter. When you're snacking on mixed nuts, which nut do you pick out of the can first? Note: I'm not including peanuts as part of this poll, because 1) there are no peanuts in Emerald mixed nuts, and 2) no one buys mixed nuts for peanuts anyway.

The best nuts in the can are the walnuts, which I eat last, not first. Basically, I would rather salvage a ho-hum round with birdies on 17 and 18 than get off to a hot start but be disappointed with the rest of the round -- you know, if eating mixed nuts is like a round of golf or anything ...

Since I've been a fitness and nutrition fiend the past 3 months and counting, I can tell you that raw almonds are the best nut there is. Protein and healthy fats are just stuffed into those little nuggets of joy.

Very ab friendly food.

I like the hazelnuts. They're even better when still in the shells. Almonds are a close second. Brazil nuts are kind of cool, but mostly because I marvel at the fact that they're intact after being shelled. When I try to shell my own, I end up picking shreds of them out of the #$@#%@ shell.

My mother likes to buy raw almonds, toast them in an oven (or toaster oven), then as they cool sprinkle them wtih tamari soy sauce. This is darn good. You can buy them pre-packaged like this at some stores, but this way you can always have freshly roasted ones.

Ah, I f'ed up, didn't realize that walnuts aren't an option. Cashews, then. Mm-hmm.

Cashews are the clear best. They are perfectly salty yet nicely sweet. Peanuts are decent but they don't count, they're legumes. I also like walnuts, and pecans are fairly similar, just a little sweeter. Almonds, decent, not great. Hazelnuts are terrible, and pine nuts might not have been mentioned in the poll, but they are good when toasted, not plain.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.
