I find I have unproductive range sessions when I focus on just one section of the bag in a session, like a mid iron day or a wedge day or a woods day. I am much more focused when I play simulated rounds.

Tonight for example, started off hitting 7i for about 10-15 strokes. Then switched over to driver for about 10-15. Then started a simulated round having to hit targets and yardages as I mentally worked my way through 18 holes. Driver, 8i. Driver, 7W, gap. 4W, 9i, gap. Etc, like that. That took 2 buckets and just about 2 hours.

This is exactly what I do when I go to the range. Simulate a hole, and if I happen to mishit a second shot, I'll swing two or three with that same club to get that muscle memory. Then carry on. You NEVER hit the same shot twice in a row on the course, so why would hitting 20 balls with a 7 iron in a row be productive?

I get a large bucket of balls, and hit 6 or 8 shots with each club moving through the clubs, then start the simulation.
