Talking

I need some opinions on a mechanic I struggle with...walking off penalties.

The Book says never walk off yardage. Is that how all U's approach this task? I ran into some vets last year that step them off, and I realize it may depend on how well the field is marked, but I want to look sharp and professional when I carry myself out there. Any particular methods used that would help?

Particularly when ball is at the 23 1/3 -yd line, and I'm spotting a 15-yd walk off do I get a foot measurement from the nearest hash and do the math from there? I am a college graduate and an engineer, but my nerves sometimes cloud my otherwise pristine mathematical skills
