They say practice makes perfect. So how do you practice? Do you just smack balls around or do you actually have a routine?
When on the range I practice every shot as if I were on the tee box or in the fairway. This way it becomes routine and it transfers to the course much easier. I stand behind the ball and pick out a target down the range, I step left of the ball and take at least one practice swing (sometimes two), I put my club behind the ball and adjust my feet to where I want the ball in my stance, one last look at my target. Boom........

Our local pro has my wife hitting a tee shot then a mid or short iron then a chip it seems like good idea. As for me I only bring a couple of clubs a wedge and another club and I hit a small bucket at very narrow targets then I spend a few minutes putting and chipping. I try to hit the range twice a week after work but If I practice to much I dont play well on the weekend.

i don't go to the range very often but I spend a lot of time around the chipping green and playing the par 3 for practice. A small bucket at the range is 4 bucks, 9 holes of Short golf is 6. I don't need to spend time working on my driver but would rather dial in my scoring shots.

I take the card for the next course I will be playing and essentially "play" the course on the driving range. That way, when I get to the first tee, I already know the shots I will be making for the rest of the round. Every once in a while, I will throw in a pitch shot for missed greens. If you know the course really well, it helps to practice shaping shots for each hole to maximize distance and accuracy.
