Warm Up With the Clubs You Like. Always start by hitting a few shots with the easiest clubs in the bag, the short irons. Then, as you go up the scale, pick the clubs in which you have the most confidence. This way you'll be less tempted to start rebuilding your swing and more likely to build your confidence.
