At my home course, I show up about 10 minutes before my time. If it is somewhere I haven't played before I will try to get there about 45 min early and hit some balls before my round.
In my brand new bag (all my old stuff was stolen out of my trunk in June 2008 ):

Driver - Tour Burner TP 9.5 65g Stiff Shaft
Woods - Steelhead Plus 3 & 5
Irons - 755's S300 Shaft 3-PW 1° flat54° Wedge - Vokey 54.10 Oil Can60° Wedge - 60.05 ChromePutter - ZebraBalls - ProV1

I get there 5-10 minutes before my tee time. I dont really spend any time on the practice green, I just take a few practice swings on the first tee and then I let 'er rip.

Got into a bad habit of not practicing before a round, and my scores are showing it.

I used to go an hour early, but it's so damn hot out here I like to just show up and play. Stay out of the sun as much as possible.

I need to practice my chipping and short game before I play to get my confidence and feel, usually the evening before I play.

I also like to arrive as early as I can to practice my putting and get a feel for distance and make some short putts before heading to the first tee.

For a casual round, I usually get there early enough to grab something to drink and head to the tee box. If it is a tournament, I generally get there at least an hour early.

My home course, I don't make a tee time, I just show up. Any other course that I haven't played I am usually there 45 minutes early. If I have played it before I am there 15 minutes early.

For a training round I will show up about 1 hour and half before. Talk with my coach, some driving range practice...
For a Tournament I have my ritual. I show up 1 hour before. just a couple of shot a driving range, meet my caddie. than I enter in the silence / concentration mode. Mobile off, I prefer not to talk nad I try to empty my mind.

in my bag I have

driver: tour burner TP 10,5°
woods: burner women 3 and 5
irons: X-20 tour 3-PWwedges: x-forged 50° and 56°putter: Kasternballs: ONE black

For my weekend rounds, where I play 18 with another person or as a foursome, I like to arrive about 1 hour early, as I hit the range on weekends (small bucket usually) and chipping area.

During the week, where I go about 2-4 times playing 18 after work, I arrive about 15 minutes prior just to check the greens, practice putting, stretch, etc. No need to get there that early just to play a quick 18 or 9 on some days.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
