How did I miss this one? There is a little range with a 9hole course and it's like 5 or 6 blocks from my house. They have a really nice putting green but no chipping allowed.
They do have an area to practice chipping and a bunker but the "green" is just like fairway grass, not a green. I'll use that to hit short pitches and practice distance control on sand shots.
They have a large bucket for $9 and it's mosterous. I didn't even want to finish it. Only problem is they have no grass area to hit off, I don't do mats for irons. I was bouncing them bad off the mats and swithced over to just driver off the rubber tee. Then I hit off on a little 142yd. par 3 on my way to the bunker area and stuck a 9 to 3 ft.
No irons off mats, ever again.
Anyway. I think my new quick regimen will be the smaller bucket for 3 dozen or so drivers. Then over to the practice green. I will just practice the stroke and then try to hit putts from every conceivable break I can. I think tightening up these two areas will drop a few strokes. Plus I can do all this in less than an hour with just a 4 minute drive.
Oh, and they also have great balls. They are all mixed. I hit some Top Flites but also hit off a bunch of Prov's, NXT's, Pinnacle Exeptions and more. A lot better than those Superrange balls.
