Pick one: warm up or stretch?

If I only have 10 minutes, I think 7 minutes of stretching and 3 minutes of putting will do me better than the range.

I am a mental wreck if I don't hit the driver on the range before going to #1 to the point I will hit 3 wood no matter the length of the hole.

I’m 36, I’m going to blast a couple balls on the range and loosen my body that way.

I just need to hit like 5 balls before actually teeing off to see what my ball flight is doing that day. I generally play a slight draw but a lot of times I get a hook going so its nice to know how bad the hook/draw is before playing. I can usually make adjustments as the round goes on but it's nice to know where I'm starting out that day.

I'm 64 so either one will likely hurt me.

Normally pop an Alleve or two
Slow swings with a couple of irons or an orange whip
Once loosened up, a few putts to see the speed of the greens then go

STRETCH

2 Advil

5 minutes of putting

2 off the first tee

Shoot 88-93

4 more Advil

Bitch to my wife about how before I knew her and we had a kid, I used to have a little game in me but now I can't hit it as far as I used to and my chipping and pitching has abandoned me.... while having no commitment to go do any stretching or practice routines.

Rinse & Repeat.

...

I thought this was how everybody did it in their late 30's?

A few partial wedges, some full wedges and then some 10 footers if time allows.

I don’t stretch at all no matter how much time I have. I’ve got zero flexibility either way.

3 wedges. 50y,70y,90y

2, 7 irons. 1 3/4 and 1 full

One 3 or 5 wood off the deck.

2-3 drivers. Line up normal, try to hit straight and observe what my natural ball flight looks like so I’ll know what to favor on course.

Finish with 1-2 50 yard wedges.

Yeah it’s not normal, but it’s a preventative. I had a car wreck and broke my femur a few years back and it didn’t heal right, so I had to have a couple surgeries and it took like 12-14 months to get back walking right. It will bother me sometimes if I’m not proactive.
