Just curious, how long is that hole? Looks kind of short, so with that plus the elevation maybe the assumption was people would be using irons off the tee. (A bad assumption of course, since a lot of people will still use driver either because they're trying to get to the green in one, or because they don't know any better...)

The picture is a little deceiving. From the back it's around 430 yards, but the middle tees play somewhere near 400. Mix that in with an uphill approach shot and most tend to pull driver.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
