The point of a warmup is not to rebuild the swing. The point is to wake up the body, find contact, and bring one clear feel to the first tee.

Chubbs keeps pre-round work short and calm because golfers do not need more panic before they play.

The quick answer

A good pre-round golf warmup starts with motion, then short contact, then wedges, then a few drivers, and ends with the first-tee shot you expect to hit. Do not use warmup time to chase a full swing rebuild.

The 20-minute Chubbs warmup

Start with three minutes of easy movement: shoulders, hips, and slow turns. Then hit short wedge shots until contact feels normal. Move to mid-irons for rhythm. Hit a few fairway woods or hybrids. Finish with three drivers at playing speed.

The final ball should look like the shot you want on the first tee.

If you only have ten minutes

Skip the full bag. Make slow turns, hit wedge half shots, hit five mid-irons, then rehearse the first tee shot. Confidence matters more than quantity.

What not to do

Do not judge the whole round by the first three warmup balls. Do not start ripping driver immediately. Do not introduce a new swing theory before tee time.

One drill: final-shot rehearsal

Before leaving the range, pick the first tee target and go through your routine. Hit one ball with the exact club and shape you plan to use. If it is not perfect, do not spiral. Take the best feel and go play.

Chubbs' coaching note

A warmup should make the golfer steadier. If it creates ten swing thoughts, it became a lesson, not a warmup.

Upload your swing after the round if the same first-tee miss keeps showing up.
