    Using The Driving Range For Swing Practice.

    Just imagine what happens when you go out to have a practice with your golf clubs. You've paid your fees - rather expensive too, and now you're all ready, but somehow the ball stays on the tee while all around you divots are flying through the air at a dangerous speed. Worse still are the holes left where they came out of. Do you really want to be responsible for ruining that beautiful green? A driving range may be just the place for you to practice that golf swing.

    For one thing, it's a lot cheaper - and some have rubber tees and artificial grass so you can't ruin it. Some golf courses provide a driving range for their patrons to use while others may be found all alone, but wherever you go they are basically the same.

    Each driving range is equipped with stalls divided by wooden or metal partitions. Unless the place is packed, leave at least one empty stall between yourself and the next player. This will help to alleviate the distraction of their swing and help you to concentrate on your own. But first you'll need balls; a lot of them. You can buy or hire them from the attendant or get them from an automatic dispensing machine. Put in your token and hey presto! Out tumble the balls. Remember to hang your bucket over the nozzle, or there will be balls going in all directions.

    The better driving ranges have automatic tees, so you don't have to continually place the ball on the tee. Since you'll be playing a lot of strokes, this is important. You could get exhausted just bending down and teeing up the ball. At least if the grass is artificial you won't have to worry about cutting up the turf. If the grass on the driving range is the real McCoy, give yourself plenty of room so you can move around as you cut it up.

    It's a good idea to use all of your clubs to practise with. This will give you a good idea of how they feel and what they do. After you've become used to them, choose the ones you will use most and practise diligently with them. There's only one thing wrong with a driving range. They cannot emulate all the different conditions found on the green. They don't have bunkers, so you can't practice how to get out of one. They don't have roughs. Still, you will get a good practice with your swing and save tearing up the true green.
