Stay away from the range

[wachesawgolfer]

The range is nice if your working on drills to correct something. Just to hit, I think it is better to play late when no is out there and work on various shots in real conditions. But, many people do not have that option so the range is it to see the real ball flight. You can always hit whiffle balls in the yard or garage.

I shank lots of shots on the range for some reason. I also can never find a tee height that fits my driver properly which means that i sky my driver and destroy the top of it. I just practice chipping in the garden, putting on the putting green and just do practice swings and play on the course.

range balls are ment to go atleast 20 yards shorter than real balls so dont be supprised if you dont hit as far on the range as the course

Very interesting thoughts. Actually, I'm trying to pay more attention to what I'm doing at the range, have a regimen.

Whoever said that comment about hitting a ball 30 yards right and thinking that is "okay" is spot on. Again, paying more attention to that now. Also, mixing up shots too. Hit a driver, then a 5-iron, then a wedge. Repeat, except hit a driver, 8-iron. Driver, 3/4 SW, and so on.

Then, I just go and hit a bunch of chip/pitch shots. Develop the touch.

I like going to the range at least once sometimes twice a week, I like hitting, and getting into a good groove where 10 in a row fly like you want them to.

Usually work on knockdown irons, draw and fade. Also work on the 3 wood and driver (aiming at a target of course), it has helped me. Usually only hit a medium bucket.... and the range is all grass and in good condition. I never hit off mats.
