Whats your range line-up from start to finish?

I usually warm up with my 56 then jump up a club or two and hit 5-10 balls working all the way to the driver.

So something like this: 56, 9, 7, 5, 4,3H, 3&5 W, to Driver. Then, back down to a couple select clubs I want to work with.

Standard range session:

Stretch, weighted club swings, get loose

3 ball warm up with 52 degree
4 balls each with 56/PW//8I/6I/4I
6 balls with 4W - 3 off the dirt and 3 teed
8 balls with Driver
*Use alignment sticks and some video to make sure everything is on track

10 - 20 balls for drilling on whatever I’m working on - typically with 6I and Driver

I then play 18 holes of a course in my head with full swings
*I try to shape shots, visualize ball flight, all that

10 - 20 balls for more drilling

Finish up with a few more balls of whatever I want to hit at that moment

I have a separate session that I do for wedge work that involves towels or just visualization if I can’t lay towels out:

8 balls each for the following - 7:30/9:00/10:30 each for 60, 56, 52, and PW (so about 100 balls) and get those twelve distances down sharp.

3 iron
8 iron
60* or 56*
6 iron
Driver
PW
3 wood/ Hybrid


I tend to jump around a good bit. Sometimes the 8 will be a 9 or the 6 could be a 5. The only constant is the 3 iron start. A few easy swings to get loose.

I usually start with longer irons to avoid chunking the ball with 1st few wedge shots

Chip a few. Steal a few from Malvin’s bucket, bang a few 7is until it’s flying right, hit 1 maybe 2 drives. Crack a cold one, putt, play.

Few 8’s, 6’s, and Drivers , 6-10 putts on the putting green and roll, if I even hit a ball, usually just roll a few and go.

Couple wedges to loosen up, maybe some long extended dead flops.
Handful of full swings
Then odds or evens only up to 6 or 5 iron.
3 wood off ground
3 wood off tee
Driver
Hit all until I hit 3 in a row the same or am comfortable with the shape.
First tee.

You talking before a round or strictly a range day?

Warm up: PW and focus solely on hitting a 120-130 target.

Once I’m dialed in:

7iron: 5 shots
5iron: 5 shots
Hybrid: 5 shots
3W off the tee: 5 shots
D: 5 shots
3W off the ground: 5 shots

The rest are focused on wedge game 80-120

3 ball drills on the putting green with 58.

3 ball drills with putter

Shouldn’t take longer than an hour.

I don't play but do instruct from time to time. Usually women because they have more patience. I start them off with low to mid irons, then get em the woods later. :rimshot:

I often go with just 2-3 clubs for swing mechanics focus.

Normally a 5 or 6 iron, a PW, and a wood.

PW to start, swing 50% a few times to get the stiffness out and "find the swing"... then SW a few times since I have problems hitting the SW nice and solid. Try to get a few good 100 yrd shots with it.

Then move up.. 8I, 6I or 5I, 5W, and few 3W, then driver.

Then hit a few more lobs with the PW or SW.

Walk out to the range to see if anyone left some balls out there, collect the free balls, pound them as hard as I can with different clubs.

If no balls were left out there, I get a beer and surf around on Tigerdroppings until my tee time.

As I am going to the range, I pray that the college women’s team is there

stop by the the grill hut and pick up a miller lite

Pretend to stretch

Crack open beer - enjoy the sounds of shanks, drop kicks and fat shots around me

Pretend that I was as good as I was 25 years ago

Ego finally deflates and I realize my 8 iron no longer goes 155

Go to grill hut again - drink another Miller

Practice chipping
Practice putting

Go to players lounge and gossip and tell dirty jokes

Drive home filled with denial but know how bad my game really is compared to the top amateurs in the state
