i'm fairly new to the game, and asked the same question.

a comon response was for me to play simulated holes with different clubs as if I was playing a round.

so, drive with whatever (Driver, 3,5wood,3,4iron) etc, then approach shot with whatever club, than chip with a wedge

repeat

it has helped me (I think)

Home Course: Hampden Country Club;  Hampden, MA

RedSox has it right. When you go to the driving range you need to go out there with a purpose. If you're just hitting ball after ball without much thought you will not get anything out of it other than it being an exercise. So, by simulating holes you will have a target just as you would on the course and when you do this you should transition your game from the range to the course nicely.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      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.
