Are you a member of a course and only use it for the driving range? I was thinking of joining this course, it's on my drive home from work. It's around 55 $ a month and it's unlimited range. The course isn't all that, so i was wondering if anyone has the same situation.

Not a member but I've looked at it. I just can't justify the cost. I tend to hit small buckets when I practice now so I don't think unlimited balls would be helpful.

my friend works in a driving range.
I get free golf balls, and he gets swing tips and a hand counting up the money at the end of the say.

55 dollars a month.
How much is a large bucket at the range? 10 dollars?

Will you go to the range more than 5 times a month?

I pay $5 for a large bucket of used balls. There's another range probably 4 miles from the one I go to and they charge $9 for a large and they're rock hard range balls. I have no idea how they're in business.

rocks are more consistent than random used balls.

10 euro is what it costs over here, but the balls tee themselves up (pretty cool)

Those tee up machines are a nice to have, but they occasionally jam, at least the ones I encountered.

Initially, I didn't like the bring your own balls and use our range for free in England, but after awhile, I grew to really like it and I really didn't mind picking up balls.

Now that's a deal right there!! Assuming the range will be around for 2 years.

man I wish I had those deals available here... I'm paying 13$ per large bucket and I usually end up hitting around 2 large buckets per range session.

200 balls a session?

That's a bit much don't you think? Can you maintain your swing for all those shots?

Yep. Back in HS during training I used to be at the range for roughly 3-4 hours.

I usually spend roughly 2 hours or so at the range these days when I go. A good chunk of those are 100 yard > wedge shots but still probably hit roughly full swing 100-150 balls with irons, woods, driver.

This is true, but they're still like hitting rocks, which I don't like. I'd rather loose yards (which isn't too much really) on a used titlest than hit a rock. Plus, he's pretty good about getting rid of the really beat ones.

Find a course where you can get a "range plan" or something similar. You just pay a set amount per year for range balls.

In my bag:
Titleist 910 D3 9.5 Degree

Adams A12 19 Degree
Cleveland CG16 Tour Irons 4-PW

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
