I’d also say go for it.
Try it with balls first, they don’t get in the way nearly as badly as clubs.
Remember, to be able to do anything while idling, you should be able to idle without relying on moving your arms to maintain your balance.
A good way to practise this is to fold your arms, either in front or behind your body (do in front first).
You’ll probably find it’ll shorten your idling runs quite a bit at first.
Relax, keep your weight on the seat (and not on your leg) and remember to breathe.
Also be sure to start practising idling with your other foot as well.
The earlier you start, the easier it is.
You can thank me later.
Oh, and I just have to.
