With knowledge comes great great responsibility. Unfortunately, as one's golf knowledge increases, one tends to spend a whole lot more time on the range trying to make the perfect swing, and fix t

I just spent the winter playing too much golf. I'm planning on hitting the driving range and a hitting net at least 50% of the time.

Sorry for the necro, but just an excellent post!

After a poor performance following great confidence from my practices lately, I was debating on "envisioning" imaginary targets at the range, with this area being a tree line and that spot being a gulley off the green and couldn't wait to iron things out.

The truth is what you say. Golf cannot be played at the range. You really can't learn to "scramble" in practice.

From now on the range is just where my tools get sharpened, not where I fix my score.

This thread is 100% me. I spend way too much time on the range. I'm moving to Florida in August and plan to play much more and tone down the range time.

I am working from 8am till 7pm - living in the middle of Hamburg doesn't make life easier. I need to drive 45 minutes to get to my golf club. Therefore I try to hit the range 3-4/week at a more local club (range is great, the course is really bad and not worth the money). I have to pay extra range fee for that. Do you think it might be worth driving to my club 1-2/week and play a round of golf instead?

Finally started hitting balls at the range. I have to admit that my accuracy hitting approach shots improved quite a bit once I started doing this. Planning on playing no more than 3-4 times a week along with a balanced practice/play schedule.

I've been having a hard time getting to range lately, it's been all golf when I can get out, and it's costing me, so my thoughts right now are "Get off the darn course and get to the range"

It's so hard though with little time, it's all about time, and I don't have enough to get better.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      Hybrids

      By billchao ·

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
