Strange practice methods

[AMcC]

I got some plastic airflow balls for Christmas and I am allowed to use them inside, but only upstairs !!
I have been practicing chipping these balls from the top landing through the bedroom door to land on the bed. Which is great the next time I face a similar chip on the course.
Does anyone else have any strange practice antics ?

not so much practise and I may get reported for child abuse

me and my 2 sons watched jackass 3.5 last week, after a few brewski's I came up with the idea of taking a chip to the nuts (childish I know), my middle lad (Dan aged 16 nearly) said he would for a tenner!!

Soooo I got out my lob wedge.... nearly took his head off as too much loft. went to my gap wedge 52 deg, caught him in the tummy, it was from about 6 feet btw and only a gentle swing. Still too high, got my pw out, 1st swing and my son was on the deck after getting a rock of a ball (think it was a pinnacle) straight to the jewels

he has suffered no long term injury and was seen rapidly heading towards the corner shop wafting a tenner very soon afterwards

(I actually have it recorded on my iphone thanks to my caring daughter, daren't upload it though in case I am potentially prosecuted, cracks me up though as the whole house erupted except for poor Dan )

I wack those multi-coloured foam balls down the hall. The dogs run after them and drop them at my feet so I can hit them again. Its a mad house with five dogs bounding up and down the hallway.

P.S. only when HID is out. I want to live.

I have no strange practices...

At least none I'm prepared to share in public.

I am not allowed to practice indoors. Monkey see, monkey do applies in my house. I had a wedge out in the kitchen once and aabout 5 minutes later onee of the boys was smashing up the joint with his plastic driver. So now I just check my alignment using lines created by the wooden floorboards/tiles etc. I thne usually make a swing and produce that 'whadish' sound with my mouth as my hands get to where I would normally make connection. Never mishit one.

I always find myself swinging a club while i'm having a burner in the back garden.

Check things like posture in the reflection on the patio door, swing plane too.

Not got to the stage where I take a ball out there with a club yet though. With so much glass out there, i know it'd be a recipe for disaster.

Or when I practice cricket and click my tongue against the top of my mouth. Almost sound like leather on willow. Made a few hundreds in my day.....
