Golf Warm-Up Routine: What to Do Before Your Round in Singapore

Arriving at Seletar or Changi Golf Course and heading straight to the first tee without warming up is one of the most reliable ways to ruin the opening holes of your round. Singapore's heat and humidity mean your muscles are not as cold as they would be in a cooler climate, but a proper pre-round routine is still about switching on your movement patterns - not just loosening up.

Start With Your Body, Not a Club

Spend five minutes on basic mobility. Hip circles, torso rotations, and gentle side bends will get your core and hips moving in the directions they need to move during a golf swing. This is more useful than any number of practice swings.

Work Up Through the Bag

When you get to the range, start with your most lofted club - a sand wedge or pitching wedge. Hit short, controlled shots. You are not trying to hit the ball hard. You are waking up your swing and finding your rhythm. After ten to fifteen balls with short irons, work up to mid-irons, then a fairway wood, and finish with a few drives.

Finish With Your Putter

The putting green is the most important and most neglected part of the warm-up. Hit several long putts to get a feel for the pace of the greens. Then hit a handful of short putts to build confidence.

The Mindset

Your warm-up is not practice. Do not try to fix your swing. You are building feel and rhythm. If something feels off, note it and move on. Now is not the time to rebuild your takeaway.
