I try to hit the range before a round if I can. My home course doesn’t have a range, but a park district course about a mile away does albeit with mats. I tend to come over the top so I set up a Pure Plane Pro with a pool noodle over the stick and warm up with that to get the feel of dropping it into the slot. I hit a couple shots each with every other iron and then woods and driver, I finish with some lob shots. Maybe 30 balls total. I try to space the shots out so I’m not pounding balls but feel like I’m leaving time between each shot to simulate being on the course.

HA! Lived in Chicago all my life and still hate the winters, although they have seemed milder over the years.
