The exact 30 minute warm up I would use if you’re strapped for time, things I use before every tournament.
Simple, repeatable, and built to get your body moving, find your strike, and walk to the first tee fully confident even if your swing feels off.

USE THIS WARM UP IF YOU WANT:
• More consistent ball striking
• Better tempo immediately
• Less tension on the first tee

All right, we’re cruising in the Moon Links. I’m going to show you guys how to warm up if you only had 30 minutes before your first tea time. Let’s go shoot 65. [Music] All right. Firstly, you need a glove. I always get an alignment stick when I’m warming up and some form of wedge, be it a lob wedge or sand wedge. Put the alignment stick perpendicular to the parallel lines that we’re trying to aim at. Always making sure we’re calibrated pre round. If you’re rushed for time, this is really, really important. Calibration’s the difference between amateur golfers and professional golfers. We calibrate alignment and ball position, everything day in and day out. So, as far as uh we’re concerned here, I’m going to align myself to the bunker on the right hand side, and I’m just going to go through some shots. I tend to group up my balls in fives. Something you guys can do yourselves. So, we got five there. As I warm up, I go through the bag. We’re just taking it easy. Really, really important. The first five, if I haven’t hit the gym and done some stretching, I’m just getting a feel for where the club is. I see time and time again people come in wanting to belt seven irons or drivers if they at all get the time to go to the range whereas I find I hit little chip shots 10 20 30 40 50 m and I build up as we go. Really really important even as a professional golfer to get a feel for where the club head is for the day. If I start out by swinging too fast and furious shout out shout out to Vin Diesel. Fast and Furious, mate. I’m no comedian. So, so basically we are just warming up and and as you will see as I get through that five, my first five, just a little nice chip shots. I then move on to something a little bit more solid. So, the next five, I’ll then go into 3/4 shot. Hit those five. Now I’m warmed up enough with the wedge. I’ll do that throughout the bag. Some days I use odd clubs, some days even. Today it’s odds. So next up, N Now I always finish with three wedge shots. Blob wedge, sand wedge, whatever you feel like. I just always finish with three after the driver just to make sure I got a bit of feel back in my hands. [Music] Generally, I’ll come to the putting green first. I’ll always do this calibration before I head to the range. But today, seeing as we’ve only got 25 minutes, we’re going range first and then putting to calibrate and make sure everything’s working correctly. As a professional golfer, I use a string line and a mirror. Today, I’m just going to show you the string line. So, basically, I find a straight putt or relatively straight. As you can see there, that breaks a little bit to the right. Shuffle around until you find one that’s pretty straight. Um, it’s pretty easy to find. You can see within three putts. You just find the lowest point. Um, working back to the hole. Now, I’ll use a string line. Again, you can make these yourself or buy them from your nearest golf store. Basically, what this does is make sure that your putter is working in the correct fashion on the arc. Your eyes are over the ball correctly. And something I do a lot is making sure that my start line is in the correct position. So, uh I’ll start with a really short one generally um to get everything working correctly. I will stand behind, make sure I’m in the correct position. Today it’s pretty windy, so I’m going to have to stem that down a little bit. So, something I do on a regular basis is I’ll put Tes on the outside of my putter head. Tee either side of the club head. You’ve probably seen Tiger doing this. First thing I do as I get to the course or the putting green, I’ll calibrate myself, making sure my eyes are visually over this line. My putter is working on the correct arc. Now, as I progress, I’ll grab two more T’s. I’ll put a golf ball about a foot away. Should be in a direct line of where my ball’s going. Now, I’ll then put T’s either side of that ball to represent my start line. If I hit a good putt, this ball should track through the green line, through the gates, and into the hole. If I pull or push my putt, I will know pretty much instantly because it’ll hit one of those TE’s. So, you can see there I block that one, which is not necessarily a tendency of mine. That’s better. Something you can do as amateur golfers, just to get yourself calibrated for your round, take 5 minutes. I literally hit 10, 15 putts. It’s not like I’m here forever. I’ll hit 10 or 15, just get a feel for where the putter is flowing on the day, working through the track, and then once I’ve done that, I’ll progress to doing a little bit more of a I suppose competitive uh short putts. So, I’ll grab those T’s that I I previously used. I’ll put one at a putter length on the left side of the hole. I’ll put one down the middle, which I can just keep this here uh like before. And then I’ll put one putter length from the hole on the right side. So I’m covering kind of all bases on the arc. I then try to go from one to the other to the other. Going through routine as I would on the golf course. So making sure I line my ball up because I lined it on the golf course. Going through my routine fully. Committing to the putt. Imagining I’m out on the golf course. So I’ve got one again. full routine. This line’s a little bit intrusive, but it’s good to have that line there still as a bit of feedback. Two and then three. That then gives me a bit of confidence knowing I can hold them under pressure. I then move on to some long putts. I generally will grab the same three T’s. It’s always good to have T’s in your pocket. I will then step out five paces. One 2 3 4 5. Put a T there. One 2 3 four five. And then one about middle of that. I’ll then get my feel for the greens so you’re understanding how far the ball’s going, etc. Another thing I do is I’ll put a couple of T’s as a bit of a ladder about a foot or 18 in past the hole. So, I’m trying to get this ball each one and you imagine you’re going up and down the ladder. I’m going from one point to the next to the next. I will then go back down the ladder and up the ladder. I’ll do this probably five times. That’ll get then give me the feel for the greens and the speed on the day. Biggest part of professional golf is being able to putt on different greens basically every week. The speeds are different. Maybe not on the PJ tour, but the speeds are different. And you’ll probably find if you’re future golfers or not necessarily members of a club and you play different ones, then speed is really, really important to gauge early on in your warm up. You can see all three of those are a little bit short. The greens are a little bit slower than anticipated. I then will work my way back down. We then move on to chipping. Pretty lucky in this environment that we have a pitching area. I generally take three balls with me. And again, we’ve only got this 25m minute warm up, but I’ll go from pin to pin with one or two balls. So, you can see my first shot here to the right pin and then I get a gauge for distance and how the greens are reacting. Really, really important, especially if you’re going to a new course and if they have a chipping green or pitching area. If you’re able to hit that 40, 50, 50 m pitch, then you can understand basically how the greens are reacting on any given day. I can tell now that the greens today are a little bit soft. You can see how that lands and then just stops nicely on that one first check. Now, same thing applies. I’ll go to the left pin. Now, as my third shot, this is a really, really tough shot. Actually, I might have to open the face and hit it slightly differently. I’ve overdone that, but then that gives me a good dis it gives me a good understanding of how the greens are reacting on the day. I’ll then hit three balls from three different spots, trying to get the ball as close as I can to possible and then getting a feel or an understanding of what I’m working with on the day. [Music] If you ever have 30 minutes to warm up, instead of mindlessly hitting balls on the range, try to incorporate some of the things I did today. warming your way through the bag, putting calibrating yourself.
