Ok so what does everyone do before they take a shot, Has anybody got any wierd, funny, normal, abnormal routines they do before a shot.

I'll start, normally before i putt i clean my ball (obviously i know) but when i put it back down i use the arrows on the ball <big berther> looks like that, to line up with the hole. Anyone else do this, is this common? am i a loon?

Lets here it.

(cant ya tell i work sundays haha)
 
line my shot, visiualise the shot, get my grip sorted, check head direction, check feet, stand straight and stick my butt out, remember to breath and think only of the ball... easy hey.
 
yeah sounds easy, i try not to think to much about the technical stuff and just try let muscle memory take over when i get down on a shot. Apart from take a few practice strokes keeping a perfect v.
 
Trust me to repeat a topic. Interesting stuff. Ok Also does anyone have any rituals they do during a round? Doesnt really have to be pre shot routine. Anythin for luck, superstition or to relax them.
 
When I'm faced with a must-get 5 foot putt, I tighten all the muscles in the back of my neck and shoulders until my head shakes, knock my knees together, get my hands to tremble as much as possible, and imagine that the putter is a live cobra that is trying to twist around and bite me, swing back as jerkily as possible, knock the ball 5 feet past, and try again.
