Practice Swing is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to Luis Lopez by Tony Prince.
Mission[]
Tony tells Luis that he has issues with the Ancelotti Mob, namely Rocco Pelosi and his uncle Vince. Tony tells Luis they are going to the golf course in Westminster. If the player has completed Chinese Takeout then Luis will ask Tony if they are going to take a nine iron to Rocco's legs. When they get there, Rocco is trying to hit a Union Official with a golf ball, but is failing to hit him. He gives Luis the club and goes to control the caddy and Luis is told to hit the official. Once the official gives them the information, the Messinas appear and start shooting at Rocco, Tony and Luis. Once Luis has held off the attackers, the trio escape and Tony asks Luis to take him back home.
