30 ball round warm up

I looked and didn't see anything in the videos. Next smartest thing would be asking Tom and the rest of you guys/gals... My local club supplies a 30 ball bucket with your green fee for a pre round warm up. Historically I've been guilty of willy nillying them with whatever club I grabbed and no set routine, sooooo my question is. You have thirty balls to warm up with pre round, how would you break those down?

I’ll take a crack at this one. I’d start out with five nice, smooth swings with an 8 or 9 iron. Focus on being relaxed and not going for distance. Then five swings with a 5 or 6 iron. Then five each with hybrid or 4-iron, 3 wood and driver. Lastly five 50-75 yard pitches. No swing fix thoughts, just focus on ball first contact and staying over the ball. That’s my routine.

@Nate The only thing I would add to @kipheeg's excellent advice is to perhaps end by rehearsing the first hole with the clubs you intend to use - particularly the tee shot. Grooving a couple of those will put you in a good place to start your round.

And whatever you do, please don't use your pre-round range balls to work on mechanics or swing changes. From a musician's perspective, it would be like the difference between practice - where you're learning the chord progressions, intros, outros, etc. - and rehearsal, in which you are preparing for a show. Start throwing in new stuff during rehearsal and you're going to mess up the whole band - along with the performance!
