I have found an area to hit off of grass in the area of NYC/Westchester/CT. And I have been using this area for a while, however, shagging my own balls 240+ yards is a bit of a drag.

Does anyone know of a grass Tee range in the downstate area? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.

I believe Randalls Island has grass as an option.

I've never seen one in the immediate area. I know there are a few golf courses into long island that have grass ranges.

Randall's Island used to have one when it was under Korean management, but it was more like rough than grass. I don't know about now. Centennial Golf in Westchester has grass, but a bucket is about $20 and that was a couple of years ago - it's probably $25 now. I called Harbour Links and they have a Tuesday night 8-10pm $30 grass night (no doobies, unfortunately, ha ha), but I never went. Long Island National said on weekends, but I haven't checked.

My favorite place to go, though far from the city is Neshanic GC. Charleston Springs, also in NJ, has grass.

NYC is nothing like the midwest, south atlantic or the south. Any good place to practice takes a long time to get to and is expensive.

I sure do feel sorry for ya'll up north. I live in SC and have never had to hit off mats in my life at the range. Is it really that hard to find grass ranges up north?

Thanks for the sympathy. We northerners love to come down and dig up the grass in your area. Ha ha.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
