I used to work at courses. The first time a ball hit the roof of my range picker I was about 250 and I thought someone shot at me or something! It will give you a heart attack every time! Good memories.

Makes a Man Outta the Range Pickers :P

So, anyone here always take aim to be the first to pop their cherry?lol

We were at the range a couple months ago and my kids wanted me to try and hit it. He was about 80 yards out and I punched my 6 Iron. I just missed him on the first two tries and then caught him square with my third attempt. My kids thought it was hillarious.

Ha! Nice. No sense in trying to lob a SW out there, just punch it low with the 6 iron!

That's actually really good to be able to hit it within 3 trys

My 6 iron is the club I use when I need to punch out and still try to advance the ball. I figured that a high loft left too much to timing. OK, it was actually blind luck, but my kids liked it.

The last 5 balls in my dad's and my bucket are strictly for shooting at thee range cart. My dad's bitter at the range pickers who get to drive around in carts. He used to work at a driving range that didn't have a cart for the range picker when he was a teenager...he quit after taking a rising three wood to the chest.

    • I am a huge numbers guy and if a number can be applied to something, I want to know what it is.  Even in golf, I will pace off short chips as I have a 10 yard, 20 yard, and 30 yard shot whereas I take the club back a certain distance for each.  I have heard the comparison to basketball players that they do not know their exact distance to the basket, they just use their eye sight and adjust which I know a lot of golfers do as well when within a certain distance to the pin.  My question is, what is that distance for you?  I was at the range today and was hitting wayward  balls to a flag that I had no idea what it's exact distance was, I estimate that I was at times as close as 40 yards and as far away as 70 yards.  I was amazed at how accurate I was having not known the distance to the flag.  Temps me to not use my range finder within say 70 yards and go by look and feel.  What say you?
    • Well, it was yesterday but I shot an 88 at Lake Park GC in Lewisville, TX.
    • PXG Orlando, other locations I'm sure its the same, offers a full bag fitting for 25 bucks which is applied to purchase if you are a veteran or active duty, etc. Unfortunately I like my Titleist's.
    • Latest rumor is Clarkson, May and Hammond will have a new team on LIV.  
    • That's not just sandbagging, that's cheating. Under Rule 3.3 for posting most likely scores, for example if there was a 2 foot putt for par, one can only take one extra stroke from what they lie, meaning par in that instance, not bogey. I didn't check the other instances but you can.
