I recently went out and proceeded to shoot a 50 on the front 9 and a 37 on the back. As a 13 handicap the 50 was a bit disturbing. Got me wondering if i was prepared for the round. As a bit OCD my routine is always the same.

Stretch
10 swings with 2 irons, (added weight)
5-10 practice swings without ball, focusing on plane
5 light swings, with ball, gap wedge
5 full swings with gap wedge
5 swings w/ 9 iron
5 swings w/ 7 iron
5 swings w/ 5 iron
5 swings w/ hybrid
5 swings w/ 3 metal
5 swings w/ Driver off grass
5 chips w/ 56*
Spend 10-15 minutes on putting green

What routine do you use?

First of all I never stretch unless im warmed up. Im sure everyone has heard it from gym class or whatever. But last year and the 6 years before that, I was a high school basketball coach and stretching cold muscles is a major cause of injury. Especially in the back and deltoids (shoulders)
My routine is:
I punch about 20 balls with my lowest lofted iron (4 iron for me)
10 Full swings with a 6 iron
5 Full swings with a 5 iron
10 full swings with an 8 iron
5 full swings with a 7 iron
10 full swings with a PW
5 full swings with a 9 iron
(I know that might look confusing, but I try to skip an Iron and go back to it so im constantly changing lofts and lengths. Im not just going long to short or short to long)
I honestly hit 7 or 8 balls total with my 2 hybrids (2&3)
Then I hit 2 with my driver and 2 with my sand wedge and keep alternating until ive hit about 24 balls. On school of golf I heard it was a great way to work on tempo. So ive been doing it ever since and I like it. I hardly ever use alignment sticks pre round. I use them post round or on a day where im just gonna practice.
Then I stretch. I do like 3 different stretches that I like for me.
And then I putt for about 30 mins. That routine is all over the map haha. I usually start close to the hole and work my way out. Then Ill just work on putts that have been giving me trouble as of late (ex: long up hill putts).
Ill then put 2 balls in my left pocket and about 7 tees and 2 coins in my right and head to the box to get some bets lol.
