I spent the winter on my indoor simulator. And I went to the range on Sunday. I can't take it anymore, I'm ready to play a round!

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
