A pre-shot routine is fine, a pre-shot circus is not. A routine is: figure out what shot to hit, take a practice swing, setup and hit it.
A pre-shot routine is something to get you into a good place to hit the shot. Something that creates structure to calm you so you can do your swing automatically. Like your routine driving to work or taking a shower. You do those without thinking, that is the point. The shorter the routine is and the fewer steps it has, the easier it is to repeat.

Great post. I have yet to see anyone hit the ball on the green on a par 3 after using one of those stupid gps or range finders
I think the routine should be short and with few elements, but each element needs to have a purpose. I have had a routine for years where I stand behind the ball figuring out my shot then starting to visualize it. Then I step to the side of the ball, take my appropriate grip for the shot I’ve selected. I will close the clubface in my hands for a draw or open it for a fade. Then I take a couple of practice swings really trying to feel what the swing should feel like for that particular shot. If it’s a fade then I want to finish with a fade finish. Then I also like to take a practice swing with my eyes closed to really help me FEEL the swing. Then I place the clubface behind the ball square or slightly left/right of my target depending on the shot. Then set my feet relative to the CLUBFACE. Finally I just pull the trigger.
Aside from the multitude of swing thoughts people have when they get ready to swing, I think the next biggest problem people have is readjusting to the target after stepping up to the ball. Set the face, then set your feet, and swing.
Well, I know you are being facetious, however your video just depicted a 1 minute and 45 second pre-shot routine. I am not sure where you are playing at currently, but i have never seen one of these types of tedious pre-shot routines you are describing, or even close. I think you need to join a private country club! We, and everyone else at my club, play in about 3.5 hours, no problem, 4 hours maximum with a fivesome! Just not sure your video here is truly relevent.
