I was reading an article recently on the avrious types of Warm Up routines, and what works effectively etc.
This particular article was saying that a majority of pro's (bowdo may be able to confirm this) follow the old Nicklaus approach of warming up with some soft shots with a sand wedge, then taking full shots with the SW, then 8/9i, 3/4i then 3 wood, Driver. back down to 8 iron, a few more wedge shots, and then the last 5 or 6, the club and shot shape they want on the first hole.
Apparently, they don't worry too much about direction or shape etc, on many of the shots, just getting a good feel going, and then really worrying about shot shapes etc, towards the end.
I was then reading something else saying NEVER to hit full shots, because us mere mortals can't hit a consistent shot, and will only put doubt into our minds before a round. Only hit some solid pitching, chipping shots, and then hit the greens to get a feel for speed.
Personally, I have recently taken on a warm up similar to the first approach, working my way up from short to long, generally going PW, 7i, 5i, 3w and Driver, back to Hybrid, and then finishing off with a 6 or 7 iron. I'll then head to the putting green after that.
What do you do, and what works and doesnt work. Or do u rock up 5mins to tee time, then go out and shoot even par or better ?
