Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. Standing on the tee or fairway, hands on hips, watching the player ahead go through a pre-shot routine that feels endless. One practice swing turns into two, then three, and sometimes even four. Before you know it, you're muttering, "For God’s sake, just hit it!" This might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe there should be a one practice swing limit per shot.
The current Rules of Golf state there is no limit to the number of practice swings a player can take, only advising players to be mindful of pace of play. And that is the problem, being mindful is a suggestion that often falls on deaf ears when a golfer gets lost in their own pre-shot routine bubble.
