Those mental run-throughs are the most valuable part because it lets me remember the five to seven things I need to know to navigate the course quickly while discarding the 100 cones that are just distracting.

I typically don't have any problem remembering courses anymore, whereas back in the day when I just did ten course walks and tried to memorize the course, I would make big mistakes often.

You do not get to pre-drive the course, however.
The difference between me and someone who takes it seriously.
