• Get to the course early-to avoid feeling rushed.

• Begin warming up on the putting green-putting is 43% of the game.

• Spend 10 minutes hitting chips around the green with a tee as a target.

• Begin your full swing warmup with stretching-Stretching can improve your range of motion by up to 17%.

• Time your routine so that at its completion, you can stroll to the first tee just in time for your group’s assigned time. You never want to stand around for more than a few minutes after warmup. If there is a delay, stand to the side of the tee and make slow swings and stretch to stay loose.

Remember: If you fail to warm up properly you are setting yourself up to fail when you play. Use the mentality of a professional: make and take the time to warm up for peak performance and better scores.
