i know a lot of my fellow golfers who take practice swings. practice swings are great for establishing tempo and developing muscle memory. but for some reason, once they get up to the ball, its a totally different swing. they are hitting at something instead of just swinging through it.
the key is to never take another meaningless practice swing again. no matter what, aim at something when you swing. whether it be a darkened patch of grass, a clump of dirt, a weed, a flower, a patch of carpet, whatever, swing at something for your practice swing.
not only are you not tense when you take these swings ( who cares if you completely whiff the dandelion?) but you develop a sense of the ball that will probably help you out quite a bit
oh yeah, and dont forget to do it on chip, pitch and bunker shots (but dont take any sand)
