I have been doing this for about a year now and have been amazed with the results from what seems like not very much effort....handicap dropped by 2.7 last year....

I turn up about 90 minutes before tee time.

5 minutes stretching

20 minutes hitting 5 balls with each club in the bag to warm up

10 minutes hitting balls with the 7 iron to see what I have in the bag today shape wise and distance wise

10 minutes to hit 20 3 foot putts and 20 6 foot putts

10 minutes to play 18 holes on the putting green using a par of 36 and trying to break it.

10 minutes chipping and holing the putts that result tring to get down in 2 with each ball.

10 minutes on 3 footers and 6 footers again.

10 minutes in the pro shop getting stocked up on water and tees and stuff chatting with the pro and my playing partners getting relaxed before tee time

5 minutes warming up again witha few swings with two clubs in the hands then its game face on

I used to turn up 10 minutes before tee time and play rotten for 4 holes and then play level fours for the rest but still shoot 78-82 because of the four bad opening holes. Now im ready from the start and my scores have dropped into the low 70's (70-74 my average in medals for the year was about 73 including a couple of 80's!!!) and I even managed a 69 in one of the Club Championship qualifiers which I had never done off the white tees before (our longest) and certainly never in the most important comp of the year.

I am frankly disgusted with myself that I didnt start this regime sooner
