PRACTICE PLAN
Pre-round warmup: 20 minutes, dialed in.
Most amateurs warm up by hitting drivers until their card is called. That trains nothing useful. A 20-minute pre-round routine reverses the order — putt first, work up to driver — and finds your tempo for the day.

Frequently asked
How long should a golf warmup be?
20 to 30 minutes is plenty. Less and you tee off cold; more and your back tightens up by hole 5. The order matters more than the volume.
What order should I warm up in?
Putting first (find lag distance), then short wedges, then up through the bag to driver. Finish with 2-3 shots of the club you will hit on the first tee.
