Rob Person Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 New course I've never played, 1 hour minimum if they have a range open. (Most don't for real early tee times.) Local courses I've played, 30 min to an hour, as I like to practice SOMETHING before a round. Other considerations is who I'm playing with. If I end up in a group, then I like to get to know each other a bit before playing Michael.Sandoval33, sirchunksalot, TJ Hall and 3 others 6 Quote WITB- Driver -Titleist 910D, 3w- Titleist 910F, 5hy/7hy- Titleist 910H, 6-PW - Stix , 52⁰, 56⁰, 60⁰ - Stix , Putter- AI-ONE DB / Lombardi Tour 34 custom Just an old newbie golfer, trying to learn and improve 1 club at a time.

Skibum Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I usually show up about 30 minutes before my round. If I’m going to hit balls. It’s about 45 minutes prior to my tee time. I spend most of my time talking in the pro shop before my round.

JeffreyO Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I like to show up around an hour early, stretch, small bucket and some putting. I hate feeling rushed and to add that to going off on a first tee, possibly cold, too much anxiety!

Joseph Riddle Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Typically 1 hour early, I'm old so it takes a while to smooth things out.

PrismFlopper Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Definely depends on if there is a range or not. If there is then atleast an hour considering if i have nothing else going on before. That way i can take my time getting my stuff exactly how I like it. But if there is no range then like 30-40 mins.

I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_KFT Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I typically try to be there at least 30 minutes ahead of time. 45 minutes feels like my sweet spot time, but it depends on various factors. If I have one or both of my little guys with me, we usually are only 15-20 minutes early because it just works better for them. If I am going to play with friends or a solo round and my wife has both boys, it's usually 30 minutes max. 4 hours alone with our wild children can get to be a lot, so I try not to ask too much extra of her as I value her time during those rounds.

ZachN97 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I like to get out as one of the first tee times in the morning so any more than 20-30 minutes requires an earlier wake up than I’m interested in! Enough time to set up the push cart and bag the way I want for the round and a quick chipping and putting session and I’m off. If only I had no responsibilities and all the time in the world maybe I’d have time to warm up on the range someday.

Kenny B Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Generally an hour early to load up the cart with clubs for my wife and I, then I usually head to the putting green because the range is nearly always full of players that have an earlier tee time than ours. I just getting the speed de jour down, so I don't spend much time there. Short walk to the pitching green and hit a dozen balls from 30y or so to warm up. My wife shows up by then and does the same; I head to the range. After a few full swings with driver to loosen up, I typically hit an 8i to a flag in the range... maybe 6-8 balls; then about 10 driver shots. Done. Back to the clubhouse... for #1, then off to the #1 tee.

Bogeskis Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Depends on the tee time. Morning tee times try to be there at least an hour before. Afternoon tee times after work or class, try to get there 30 minutes before if possible. If I’m running short on time then I’ll warm up and stretch at the first tee box. buckpillar and IndyBonzo 2 Quote WITB: Driver: TAYLORMADE R9 WOOD: TAYLORMADE R9 5W IRONS: CLEVELAND TA5 3-PW WEDGES: CLEVELAND RTX-3 60° PUTTER: EVNROLL TOUR STROKE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman K Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I like to show up at the golf course forty five minutes to an hour before tee time. I can take my time changing into my golf shoes, sign in & pay and then hit a few warmup balls. Most of the time I can practice putting before the round too!

taylorjonasher Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I prefer an hour ahead so I can warm up & hit a bucket, then putt for about 10 minutes to gauge the speed so I can blow it 12' past the hole more consistently. This usually gives me a couple minutes to hit the bathroom and maybe grab a beer or two at the counter then (most importantly) prep a wet towel for my bag. If I show up closer to tee time I will normally skip putting and then drain everything within 25'. I also have to have my bag and pockets ready to go - tee's in the right pocket, marker and divot tool in the left, glove in the back left pocket, balls out and marked, and the speaker queued with the playlist of the day (which is normally super angry 90's and 00's gangsta rap - at a tasteful volume, of course). My large bucket warm up consists of my 54*, PW, and then either odd or evens to the top (it varies randomly), 2i, 3W, then driver. I normally hit about 5-6 of each and see which way the ball is moving. I usually try to save about 8-10 for the driver to end on.

aph_cb Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I usually play my best when I get to the course 45 mins or so beforehand and am able to just take a few swings with driver, a long iron, a short iron, and sand wedge. Usually whatever the smallest bucket they offer is what I go with. I like to end on putting because I can carry some confidence to the course when I can roll in some 10-15 footers before going to the first tee.

BallsLeon Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I like to show up about an hour early, especially if I'm walking. Gives me time to get my push cart all situated, check-in, hit some full swings (or just chip), and roll some putts.

Michael.Sandoval33 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 In my short time golfing, I have never showed up early to practice anything beforehand. I feel like having too many swing thoughts, which I practice other days, would be detrimental to me in my round.

BreakfastBall15 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Normally 45-30 minutes early. Standard is go check in, have my pre round bathroom session, and then head back to the car to get my push cart loaded up. If it’s 45 minutes early I’ll grab a warmup bucket then chip and finally putt. If I get there 30 minutes early I’ll skip the range session and spend more time chipping and putting.

musicalmedicine Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) 1.5 to 2 hours. I like to hit a few balls through the bag (56 degree, 8 iron, 5 iron, 4 hybrid, 5 wood, driver) then get a feel for the greens with ~30 minutes putting and some chipping if the course has a chipping green. Maybe excessive, but I like that it gets me there warmed up a bit without feeling rushed.
