Thanks for the response. I want to be clear I'm just looking for tips and tricks at a practice area. It's an open conversation in all honesty. In my response above I had said I use the edges of the range to help shape shots, using the tree line and fence line as a guide. That was an example I use to help me in practicing left or right. This is what I am here for, to get an understanding of what everyone does at the range or green and if anyone has similar circumstances where they can get to a practice green or range on a consistent basis day to day. Our good weather season just started, I don't know what I need to tweak yet. The net I hit into all winter doesn't really give me that great of a feel of what my balls are doing and the carpet I putt on is just a remnant from our house remodel to keep a stroke going. If I have anything to tweak, I'll ask the local pro for help. I am definitely going to try that link out and see what it is I can improve on. Thanks for sharing that! I should have edited my original post to ask what everyone does if they have the same scenario or limited time. Just here to learn what people across the world do to help keep their game sharp.

Thanks to you and @cnosil for the replies. I think that's a better option more on the short game now that I'm looking it over. I have 12 clubs because I threw out my 3wood and hybrid out of the mark up since I don't know what to do between 3i and driver. It leaves that open for a possibly hybrid and wedge combo to fill the bag. You're not being arrogant, I'm glad to hear there's always room for activities and that's exactly why I posted. Hope to see a lot of responses with tips and tricks even outside of being at the course.

I'd like to accomplish a lot. Keep my iron play strong while also working on those short game shots. My putting has improved over the past two years but I'm still a two putt for par kind of player. Burn a lot of edges and will focus on making those this year. I'm hoping someone has a "workout chart" for what to do at the range and drills for someone that's going to go from playing 3 full rounds a week consistently to probably one full round unless in competition play. I'd like to just keep my swing and have a purpose rather than go hit balls. What I've done this year so far is set up on one side of the range or the other and use the tree line or fence line to move my balls and shots. Helps with the workability of draw/fade IMO. When I do that in the middle of the range I don't hold true to the actual drill and I hope someone can shine light on that. PW is 46. I've been thinking of getting a 50 degree wedge to close that gap. I have not had them checked and will see if the local pro can do that.

TaylorMade SIM driver, Mizuno MP18sc Irons, Mizuno Putter & Wedges. Looking for a new 3wood/hybrid/utility club. I always used to be Titleist for irons and wedges but back in 2012/2013 tried out the MP64's and fell in love with Mizuno. Kept vokeys up until 2018 when I got the MP18sc Mizuno irons and got a heck of a deal on their wedges. Just last year tried out the MCRAFT series putters and was best I putted in a long time. Went with TaylorMade last year after a long hiatus since the old R7 Superquad went bad. Could just never find a driver to match it. I think I'm floating towards a mix bag my next new setup. Depends on what I do with my physical appearance over the next course of the year or two. Have to lose the belly to keep playing players irons!

I can literally walk out to my vehicle at lunch grab my bag and then immediately head to the driving range I'm that close to my home course. This year I want to focus down on as much practice as I can outside of playing a round. We recently had a baby and I think my time after work or the weekends will be cut down dramatically so I want to be sure I can still stay in playing shape and still compete in the annual tournaments I play. I honestly don't warm up at the range and when I played college golf I'd go down hit a few 6-iron shots and then head to the putting green. I'm a bigger guy, 6'2" 250. There's no muscle there, all pudge and belly, like Gru from Despicable Me. I want to take this year to buckle down on my physical capabilities and then get on the mental capabilities. I'm still young by any means, but I'm to the point now where what I do will define me for the future. I get a generous 1 hour break to do all of this. So, I'm here to get some tips on what to do at the driving range and practice green during a lunch break. My thoughts were M/W/F driving range and T/Th putting green or some combination there of. I don't want to just solely show up and hit a bucket or two at the range, maybe get some chipping and sand work in some days. Does anyone have this sort of regiment for a daily routine? Can anyone share some advice or drills to do and what or how to move on after learning a drill to doing it well? Any help or criticism will be much appreciated and I hope to post the journey as we go. Below are yardages I played last year out of my book. I have a big gap between my 8i and 9i and an even bigger gap between my max 52 and max PW. I am not sure where I lost that distance or if I gained that distance off the PW over the years. Since about 2013 I stopped hitting for distance and went with accuracy, I'd like to improve both. *EDIT* Above is the original posting so when you read the first few replies there's the reason for the replies... I joined and created this post to engage conversation of what people do in similar situations and what drills or skills you may practice when you head to the range or putting green. I'm not looking for any swing advice but rather what can be done to keep my game on its toes and to be play ready. If you have drills you may want to share or scenarios, this is the post for that! What do you do to practice putting? What do you do to practice keeping your swing in check? What can you do at the range you can't do on the course? How do you bring the course to the range and vice versa the range to the course? This is the type of discussion I initially wanted to start. Thanks! *END EDIT* Driver - 270 3wood/Hybrid - I'm looking for new 3i - 215 4i - 205 5i - 195 6i - 185 7i - 175 8i - 165 9i - 150 pw - 140 52 - 115 56 - 95

Hi Everyone, I'm from Central PA and a hardcore hobby player. I play every Sunday with my dad and also compete in individual and two-man team tournaments. I'm getting to the age where my game can go either way and I wanted to join to be involved in discussion to keep me at it. I've been playing golf for almost 20 years now. I played in high school and then played for the local college team. We had a good run during the four years there and I had a couple of medalist showings and championships top 10's. I'm currently around a 2 and I want to improve on that. Like I said above, I'll be 35 this year and I know I'm not the young buck I was in college but I am smarter and I want to take advantage of that. I love being outdoors and the challenge of golf. I love enjoying every Sunday with my dad. I'm here to look for tips and advice. I work 5 minutes from my course and use my lunch break to practice putting and at the driving range. I really want to focus hard this year with practice and commit to strategies. My home course is Clinton Country Club. I've been fortunate to be the club champion a few times. If you are ever in the Lock Haven area, I highly suggest making the trip to Clinton Country Club. It's a small gem for sure and a players course. The owner recently removed a lot of trees over this winter making it a fair environment for the higher handicappers which is great to bring play to the course. The best is the competition and the location of my home course in relation to me. The worst is the weather. We opened up this week and then had a dusting of snow just this morning! I am the Public Works Director for the local municipality here. I oversee all Public Works operations. I have always used TheMoment handle and will just add a suffix to the end in what I am signing up for.
