What is your practise routine at the range?

Find a spot far far away from any MEN.

hmm...any reason why this move?

nowadays i just go to practise my iron drills, hit some hybrids,3wood and drivers and work on distances from 100m in to 20m.

My routine is to start hitting balls using my short iron and progree up wards all the way to the word.

I will only move to the next iron unless i can hit at least 10 shots with consistency bepfre I go to the next longer club.

Takes a lot of discipline though.

Golfjoy - one way overcoming your discomfort of people watching you play or tee-off . Go to Executive Golf Course at Seletar to play. Play on wekends where there is a crowd at the 1st tee. After a few games ...you will be oblivious of anyone watching...steady only.

'Cos I am too cute?!
NAhh ... kidding bro. Don't puke.

I just feel more at ease this way?
Sometimes, I wonder if golf is the sport for me... how to play if I feel uncomfy having ppl looking on!!

hmm...best you get such feeling out of the way soon else imagine the 'stage fright' when you tee off on the tee box with ppl looking at you.

I also start with the driver first, for those golfers that are not too experienced, it helps you realise how you will hit your driver when your body is still stiff!

I then move up to 3 wood, hybrid, 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,S,55,60 to get a good feel for my shots for about 100 balls.

Then i use 50 balls to cycle through 9,8,7,6,5, hybrid, 3 wood and driver and call it a day.

Here's my routine (grass range)

At the range
20 balls with a sand wedge - half swing
20 balls with a sand wedge - full swing
10 balls with a gap wedge - full swing
10 balls with each iron, working down from 9i to 2i
10 balls with a 17.5* FW wood
10 balls with a 15* FW wood
10 balls with 585H hybrid 21*
10 balls with 585H hybrid 19*
25 balls with driver
15 balls on target practice - hit driver, fairway wood, random short iron/wedge, playing to different markers, focusing on accuracy

Chipping green
20 balls with LW
20 balls with SW
20 balls with GW
20 balls with PW
10 balls with 9i
10 balls with 8i

Chipping & Putting
10 balls with LW, then 1-putt to finish
10 balls with SW, then 1-putt to finish
10 balls with GW, then 1-putt to finish

Putting
3 cycles of 8-points around the clock, 3 ft - failure to complete, restart.
2 cycles of 8-point around the clock - 6 ft - miss 4 putts, restart

I try to do this once a week, usually 3 hours of work, but the weather is getting too hot for this these days.
