I go range first. PW, 7, and then 2/3/4 iron (depending on the course I'm playing), then hybrid 4, 3-wood, driver. No real logic to it...that's what I learned to do when I was like 12 (start with lofty irons and work towards longer clubs).

Follow up with about 5-10 min on the putting green and in good to go.

I only practice chipping if I've got extra time to burn before or after a round.

Chip my 4 iron further and further until it's a full shot. Hit about 10 more full shots. Then 3 iron 10 shots. Driver about 15 shots working left or right. Drop down to 7 iron 7 to 10
Shots. PW for 5 shots. LW for 5 shots. Then end on a good drive.

Small bucket on the range. PW, 7, 1 or 2 swings with the hybrid, 3 or 4 with driver, a few 8 irons, then whatever is left with the 56° at different distances.

Eat lunch.

Putt for 5-10 minutes.

Get an ice chest with 4 beers and a bottle of water.

Tee off

Range: 7(most balls and acts as actually warming up my back),4, Driver, Hybrid, 54(maybe 5 balls each on the rest)

Putts, mostly getting tempo of swing for green conditions of the day, 5-10-20ft putts, don't even always aim at a cup.

15-20 min usually on the putting green. Stretch and practice swing from easy to hard over a couple min.

Hit a shag ball.

Tee it up and go. I've been playing 50 years, I don't need an hour on the range anymore

Hit about five 40-70 yard shots, three PW shots, three 7 irons, three hybrid, then pop the driver a couple times. Putt for 5-10 minutes or so until it's time to go to the tee box.

I find my best rounds have come after work tho when I just hop out of the truck and head to the first tee.

Start with trap wedges, then seven irons, long irons and Drivers.

Chip a few from tight lies, chip a few from fluff

Putting... drop 5 balls on a straight line from the hole, each two feet apart. This is a speed drill. Do it in a clock patterns around the hole. Then the three foot circle clock drill, try to make 20 in a row.

So you're hitting about 70 balls before your first real swing? Thanks, but no thanks.

I start with stretching.

Then swing SW 3/4.

8 iron maybe 6 balls

6 iron off tee 4 balls

5 wood 4 balls

Driver 7 or so

Putting: stick tee in green; pace off 20 feet; putt with and against grain trying to gauge distance control.

If time, chip a few.

warm up routine


Usually a trip to the bar to fill the ice chest with beers and ice along with a beer to carry out with and a shot of whatever I feel like that day, to loosen up.
