Routine at the driving range?

[AmazingWhacker]

I rarely (ok, never) warm up or stretch before hitting balls at the range so I tend to get a large bucket and hit about 20-30 chip and pitch shots to get loosened up.  Then I just go to whatever club I want to work on.

After stretching (even five minutes helps) I hit my sand wedge.  It's not a club that I usually put a full swing on so hitting with it for 20 minutes or so helps me to continue to get loose.  I'll follow that with progressively longer irons, skipping one each time, then my 5 hybrid, fairway woods, and driver.  Since the driver is one of the best clubs in my bag I just hit a few with it, unless I'm way off.  Then I'll go back through the clubs that I missed while hitting longer clubs and end up with my shorter irons as I started.

8i, 6i, 4i, 3h, 3w, d <- get loose routine. I'll stretch and do practice swings for 15 minutes minimum before hitting a ball.

There a lot of times I don't hit more than my 53/56/60 when out to practice. The nicest greens that are close and not on a private course are at Timber Links, they have no range. They do have a nice big green with at least 6 hole locations and a bunker to work out of. Near by is the #9 green with massive bunker to work out of and obviously the fairway leading up to it. I work on all sorts of shots out there when the course is clear.

My warm-up routine is a little different than most.  I do this before every round and before a practice session after I stretch for about 5 minutes: shoulders, lats, side stretches, toe touches, trunk rotations, back, calves, hamstrings, and groin.

1) about a dozen 7 irons: a few punches, a few 3/4, then a few full shots.

2) 5-10 drivers, mostly trying to figure out what my "natural" ball flight is that day.

3) a handful each of partial gap wedges: half and 3/4.

4) If I have time, I "play" a few holes on the range: driver, 7 iron, wedge.

5) Putting: I hit a few short, medium, and lag putts, mostly trying to get a feel for speed.

If I don't at least do 1 & 2 I can be guaranteed a terrible round.
