Depends what the session is for. Drilling something new from coach, making sure that whatever it is you’re working on is being worked on. If it’s pre round, I’d start 8i, then 9, pw, 50 before working my way back down the bag. Getting a feel for the shape of the day.

go to the range when it is nice weather

don't simply rake ball after ball after ball. take time to focus on your target, use alignment sticks and practice with a purpose. Sometimes, that purpose might just be to groove a swing or hit wedges, drivers, etc.

Hey Tyler! I think the most important piece to any good range session is being intentional about what you want to work on and not just simply pounding balls. Personally, my short game is a weak point right now. When I go to the range, I will warm up and then practice wedge shots to different distances, taking my time with each shot as if they were ones on the course. I think no matter what you may be working on, having a system that feels intentional and helpful for how you learn is the best way to go about practicing on the range.

Good luck!

I have modified my range 'practice' routine a bit after finding that my on course ball striking wasn't quite resembling range sessions. If I am not practicing specific swing mechanics, I want to use the golf course formula. For me, that is 'one club, one shot, one target'. That means I hit only one shot with any club, change clubs and target each swing. I try to alternate between driver and various fairway clubs, trying to use them all with emphasis on the ones most likely to be used on course. For me, it might be driver, 5 hybrid, then driver, 6 iron, maybe 7 fwy, etc. And, I try to hit some pitches in there, too. This way, I don't build too much familiarity and get comfortable with any club. I have to get used to all of them and not make adjustments/compensations.

Separately, I also spend some time practicing on and around the green with focus on lag putts, inside 5', and general chipping (roll outs, not pitches).
