Practice routines will vary. What I do is probably like 80% on my short game, and the rest on longer full shots. I always start out with some putting. This gets me into the "feel" mode, and this is where I get my tempo/timming started. After some putting, I go with my wedges, and move up to my mid, long irons, and then my woods. I always save my driver for last, and usually hit it no more than 10 times. After that, if I want to continue to practice, it is back to short irons, and my putter.

I always aim at something on every practice stroke, so that shot I am hitting has purpose.

It is my own opinion that if I start off with the longer clubs, I wreck my tempo, and timming for the rest of my clubs. Even my putter. If I start off with my putter, while working my way up, it seems to help with all the other clubs, since I "sensed" the feel of my (shorter version) golf swing.

If I show up at the practice range, and my swing just isn't there for what ever reason, I end the session, and head for the 19th.

On game day I use the same sequence, starting with my putter, and ending with my driver. I never go from the putting green to the first tee where I will be using a longer club. GJS
