Has anyone noticed his practice swings before every shot. Why does he come WAY over the top on his practice swings?

I believe he is trying to get the feeling of swinging left after impact. Is that right?

That'd be my guess.

A lot of guys actually do this...Just a feeling they like to have before addressing the ball.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Tom Watson describes doing this in his DVD.  He got it from Corey Pavin as a way to balance his real swing and not go off plane.

a lot of people, myself included, sometimes drop the club too far inside.  So taking practice swings doing the opposite of your fault is a way to help alleviate this problem.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
