Hi all,  just moved back to Melbourne, Australia after 10 years moving around the world for work.   Work is in the SE suburbs, when I was last based here 10 years back the Kingston Links course and driving range were just around the corner in Rowville and I used both frequently.  Now I'm back both the KL course and range have shut down.  Looking for suggestions on either standalone range facilities or courses with ranges/short game areas/putting practice greens in the area, any advice appreciated! 

Cheers, Ben

I am not from Melbourne so cannot suggest where to go for a range / practice area.  However, what I can suggest is consider whether it is financially viable to build a hitting area with a cheap simulator like the Garmin Approach R10, MLM2Pro or Optishot, which would all come in at under a 1000 dollars.  If you have the space, I personally would prefer an outdoor net

      My Swing (saevel25)

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By GolfSwami · Posted

      If you make assumptions excessively favorable to Tiger that leave out the best arguments for Jack that most people would never use to evaluate greatness in other sports and didn't use to measure greatness in golf until Tiger got injured, then sure. Here is how Gemini rates both of them just in major output with a prompt to generously subsidize Tiger's record because of field strength. And also the answer to the question who had more longevity Jack or Tiger.  Hopefully this puts the trutherism to rest.
