Golfers, how do you warm up before a round?

I've often wondered how other people do it, assuming you have time.
I usually chip for about 10 minutes to different distances, then I putt for about 10 minutes, mostly just to get the feel for different distances and a general knowledge of what the greens are going to be like.
Then I hit about 20-30 balls on the range, starting with a wedge and hitting about 50%, then full wedge, then a 7-8, a 4-5, my 3 hybrid, then driver.
All in all this takes somewhere between 25-35 minutes. If I don't have that much time then I just cut everything in half, and obviously if I don't have any time I just take two off the first tee, and sometimes my group will give everyone one practice putt on the first hole to get a feel for it

Tournament round-
Long putts for 10 minutes
Half Wedges progressing to full until warm
About 10 balls with each
9 irons to a target
7 irons to a target
4 iron
Hybrid
3 wood
Driver
Play the first 3 holes
15 minutes before tee time- short putts, and make a short putt from each side of the hole.
Takes right around 45 minutes every time

Tourneys-start with 56 and move up to my driver hitting balls. When I hit 3 in a row exactly where I want, I change clubs. Then chip until comfortable. Then long putts to get green speed and finish with 5 putts of 3-4 feet to hear the ball going in the cup and get confidence up.

A stiff drink
Edit: for a tournament, I just hit a small bucket to get loose. I am a terrible range player, so I don't try and do anything to fancy. It's funny, if I have a terrible range session before a round, I know I will play great, if I have a good range session, look out. It's quite odd.

Usually warm up for about 45 minutes. Start with 60 degree wedge, hitting pitches, 3/4 shots until I like the contact I'm getting. Then I hit full PW until I'm confident in my contact, rhythm and tempo. Then i hit 10 with the driver. Then I spend the rest of the time putting.

Smoke some tree on the way to the course, and then stick the tee in th ground.

I don't, Webb doesn't have a driving range

I start with a stretch routine especially making sure my neck is loose
Putt 3-5 footers and move back hit 3 long Putts. Hit some weges and a couple irons whichever I feel that day then driver for about 5 balls then I play the exact shot I will need on the first tee whether it's driver 3 wood whatever. Then go back and putt again with a couple more longer putts in the routine
I like to see the ball drop a lot on the practice green for confidence

Oh and if I can't control my driver on the range, I put it in the truck.

Oh yea I always stretch really well, I'm only 22 but if I don't stretch I'll hurt myself
I've actually started stretching every morning before I go out for my day and it has helped with my joint and back troubles immensely, I highly recommend it

Hit about 40 golf balls, starting at wedge (chipping on the range), move to 8iron for about 10 balls, long iron for 10, then driver.
I try to practice my short game throughout the week leading up to the tournament, so I don't really "practice" it when I warm up!
Then putting for 10-15 minutes before I head back to range and hit 3 tee shots like I would try to do on the 1st tee!

I typically rub one out behind the clubhouse.

My warm up takes an hour.
It's called 'the front 9.'

I don't do much. I hate practicing, but if I'm bored and have a while before teeing off I'll go hit a small bucket with no particular routine. I also might putt about 20 balls, also with no particular routine... I just like to relax and hang out with whoever is around, and before the start I'll hit a couple trash balls into the woods or something.
