I have to say having a membership at and course helps as you can have the option of a range pass, which in the end you save tons of money, depending on your devotion to the range. For me it was the right choice.

Usually about $3 for small (25), $6 for medium (60), $8 for large (100)

Worst I ever had to pay was about $8 for 25 of the *crappiest" balls at this little "golf center" in Mt. Pleasant MI. I could have gone to Walmart and bought a bag o' shags and hit them into my FIL's field for cheaper.

Silver Dollar Golf Course, Odessa, FL

$35 for a range card of 90 balls per bucket, 11 buckets per card/

In season its $45

Great range, hitting off tee box type grass!

Older person community, range doesn't get much use unless they have a big shotgun-skeet tournament, the range has stations on it and you get some clay from the pigeons in the grooves, little harder to clean off.

All three of the ranges I go to seem to have about the same prices...$4 for a small (35 balls?)...$7/$8 for a medium (75 balls?) and $10 for a large (100 balls)...and one of the ranges has a jumbo (150 balls) for $12. I used to be that $10 or $12 dude, but the last couple of months I haven't been hitting balls at the range much and when I do I've been hitting a medium bucket.

I started playing this season about a month ago and I have almost eclipsed $200 so far...

Really? It still takes me like 45 minutes to hit a medium...used to take over an hour with a large bucket. You should try not pouring all your balls into the little 'trough' or on the ground beside you. Instead just leave the bucket a few steps behind you so you have to go back and grab a ball after each shot...line up to your target...posture up and swing, repeat. Has helped me not just machine gun through buckets of balls, and actually made the few times I've been the range lately way more productive.

Everyone else pays $4 for about 30 balls, or $6 for about 70 balls.

The range is included in the club membership. So I can hit all I want. I know a few guys that will stay out on the range all day. We have a nice range, hitting off zoyzia, same as the fairways. The practice bunkers could be alittle better though.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
