golfmule Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I usually arrive 30-40 minutes before tee time. That gives me plenty of time to get my shoes on, load my cart, check in at the clubhouse, BS with the clubhouse attendant, do some loosening up and tee of.

NoCoGolfer Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I've actually done all 4 I prefer to get there about an hour ahead so I don't feel rushed. Now we live 100 yards from the range so it usually ends up being 20-30 ahead of time. I like to start out hitting a few wedges then a few 8 iron shots and then 3-4 drives and finish with a wedge. Maybe 20 balls, then head to the 1st tee and putting green to roll a few putts.

JWK1969 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I try for an hour in advance. Not always happening, but I do try. Shoes on...head out to short rage for 10-15 minutes of wedge warmup. To the range for 20-30 of cycling through the bag, then roll 'em for 10-15 on the putting green. All of which gets me ready to shank the first one off the tee and hope we're playing a breakfast ball!

Russx5 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I like to be there an hour before but most times it's less. At least enough time to chip and putt for a few minutes. Quote WITB - Currently hitting PXG 0211s, irons, driver and putter. Cleveland wedges. Love golf, wish I was better at it than I am. Try to play at least one time a week and get to the range or some other type of practice, putting, chipping a couple times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolken53 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Usually 45 min to an hr early, never warm up on range just a few swings with a practice type club then putt and talk with playing partners then our starter usually sends us out early because he knows we’re fast and won’t hold anyone up out there. It’s important to get your fast people out there early because if you have a slow group early on it makes the rest of the day slow play. rmk! and Beakbryce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrmedic Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Always a half hour before minimum. I usually like to hit the range and stretch a bit. Of course my dad drilled into me. If your on time you’re late. Quote Callaway Mavrik irons, Ping woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywong23 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 our foursome arrives from 4 directions; usually 20-40 minutes before tee time. check in, find a cart; stretch, putt on the practice green; hit a few practice balls, if time.

ScramblinMan Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If it is my home course then only 15-25 minutes prior to tee time. Otherwise its usually 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Spend most of the time chipping and putting to get a feel of the greens. I will then hit the range to see if I'm drawing/fading the ball and will "try" to play that shape shot for the day...

TitleistMike Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It isn't an hour, and it isn't 15 minutes either. I've played courses it's a five minute walk or more range to tee box. 45 minutes covers it Unwind the clicgear and load bag, Pro shop settle up takes a few minutes. Meet and greet fellow players Loosen up. Hit a small bucket 25 or 40 balls Roll 12 putts various distances breaks Be at teebox at least 9 minutes prior. No need to crowd prior, no need to scurry up one minute before own.

TitleistMike Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Fix the survey Button one > at least an hour And Button four > more than an hour Are same thing Make Button one 30-60 minutes and survey time blocks make more sense.

Realtor Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I like to get there early and not be rushed. Get myself and my gear ready and head to the range. Do some stretches and start slowly working through my clubs. Finish up chipping and putting and I'm good for the first tee and a good round of golf.I practically grew up on a golf course and this is how I was taught. How many sports do you know where the athletes just jump in without a warm-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmk! Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Trunk to the tee, thats me. Been playing all my life and for years I got away with little to no practice but had good muscle memory and touch. Now, at 71 the memory has faded and so the swing/ball striking is mediocre. I think I waited to long as now practice doesn't seem to help much. It only causes physical breakdown. Oh well, I had a good run as a mid to low single digit. Sorry for the OT but just wanted to point out there are consequences if warmup and practice are not part of the regime.

Jbreck10 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I average about 30 mins before normal weekend tee times these days. I’ll hit 20 balls on the range and spend the rest of the time chipping and putting.

Stevenhp Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I like 45 minutes to an hour that way I’m not rushing. Depending on the course I may hit some balls, but definitely I stretch and putt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I need to be at the course an hour ahead so I can pay, wet a towel, load the cart, and then head to the range and putting green. This year I’m putting first, then hitting balls since I want to head to the first tee having practiced that shot right before I tee off. It takes me awhile to get loose, I even stretch and roll at home before I leave the house.

NoRebound Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 45 minutes to an hour. At my age I need to get loose so I have time to stretch, hit the range, hit the practice green and get my brain ready to play. If I show up 10 minutes before a tee time the round is a wreck.

Genes Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I show up about 45 minutes prior. Gives me a chance to hit the range, putting green and practice some bunker shots. usually a small bucket does it. I find that even hitting a few it’s better than not hitting at all. Especially as you get older. don’t forget to stretch.

JRDuck40 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I shoot for 20 to 30 minutes beforehand. Gives you time to stretch, putt, chip and get a few good swings in. If it's a competition round, I'm there at least 45 min to an hour early to hit the range and dial in the greens for the day.

Beakbryce Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 1st or 2nd tee time and this part of the year that is a 0600 or 0607 tee time. Doesn't matter. I like 30-45 minutes, mentioned by several others, which wasn't a choice so didn't vote. Get in some chipping and putting, 2 clubs to swing and stretch, and I am ready. We are all regulars so there is a little catching up to do and maybe a war story, then we are off. Don't need much as I play or swing on my mat every day.
