625: Most amateur golfers consider the time getting loose\xa0before a round as practice, but that's actually warming up and it\xa0may not be the best time to experiment or tinker with your swing. This week our guest is\xa0John Battaglia, a PGA Professional teaching at the PGA West Golf Academy\xa0in La Quinta, CA. His early training at Jim McLean\u2019s academy has not only made him a better teacher, but a better golfer as well. In this week\u2019s conversation, we explore the differences between warming up and practicing. John also offers online lessons for anyone around the world at 360GolfLesson.com.
