When you shot the range markers were they 15-20 yards too short?

The reason I ask is most range balls are "80%" balls, i.e. they are distance limited. It's possible that the range markers match up with what full flight balls would do. Wishful thinking probably.

Funny you made this post though, I realized this past week that unless you are at a PGA tour stop driving range hitting a pyramid of ProV1's, a range is almost worthless for working on distance with your clubs. Since you are not playing "your" ball (or even one that's anywhere close to it most times) the distance you get at the range won't have much bearing on what you'll do on the course.

I won't even get started on hitting off mats other than to say I won't do it anymore. If I can't hit off grass then I won't hit.
