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.

    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
    • What’s better for golf pilates or yoga?
    • I'm halfway thru 11.22.63 and I'm really loving it. It's only eight episodes. It came out in 2016, but has found new life since Netflix got it recently. I hesitate to say it's good, but I'm really enjoying it. I hope it ends well.   I'm nine episodes into Death Note, and that's been great too, also on Netflix. It's free on YouTube. I feel like that's been a legitimate good story so far. Not sure how long YouTube leaves it up, but here's the series (37 episodes of like 20 minutes each).
