Pull the trigger, you hack!! I used to play with a guy who was about a 6, and he never took a practice swing. His argument was that practice swing has just as much chance of being pure as the next one.
Practice on the range turtles!!

That is the only bad part of the game. The golf threads got me all fired up, so I woke at 5:30 and played this morning.
Some actual quotes:
In the group ahead of me first tee, first guy tees off.
His friend ("Mr. Optimist") says: "Well, at least you put it out there."
after the second guy: "Well, at least you kept your head down."
after the third guy: "Well, at least nobody got hurt!"
Later, after watching them take their 15 minutes on the green, carefully plumb bobbing each putt, checking all the angles, from both sides of the hole, I hear dne say to the other after sinking a putt: "Was that for a 10?"
At least it was a little humorous.
