  1. 1. Do you hit balls before you play?

I do when I can, but weekday rounds, usually no time. On weekend rounds I will hit 10-15 balls then chip and putt for a bit then hit another 10-15 with the last 6 alternating wedges and driver. I frequently hit balls after I play. I have noticed that often when you think you are tired it really is often dehydration. You really need more liquids than you are comfortable drinking. Also I accomplish more if I split up the after just like the before, balls, short game, more balls in 30-40 ball segments. I don't know why? Concentration, frustation limitations?

I just about always hit a bucket. I find it wrong that some courses do not have driving ranges. It helps me just see my ballflight. I don't like walking onto the first tee not knowing what the ball might do.

When I go to the range, it's to practice. I'll hitthree or four buckets with rest along the way. A lot of members at my course do this we have chairs and sit and talk, etc.

Before rounds I stretch well, hit three 8 irons, three six irons, three drivers and go putt a bit. A bad time on the range puts bad thoughts in my head and a good time on the range doesn't seem to transfer to the course. (for me) But, a good putting session always does.

Bury me with a golf glove in my pocket - just in case!

I would say 9 times out of 10 I dont. I stretch out, hit some putts, hit some chips, then swing a club with the weighted donut on it about 20 times or so, walk to the first tee and then hit. I would like to but I just dont, plus some of the courses around me dont have a range.

    • I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"
    • For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
