Many golf courses have driving ranges.  Driving ranges can be a key factor in improving your game, and it’s important to take advantage of them as often as you can.  Although it’s called a driving range, you can practice most of your shots on the range.  By using this valuable resource offered by your course, you’re bound to improve your game.

It’s essential for a golfer to know how far he’s able to hit his clubs on a consistent basis.  By practiving at the range, you’ll get a good idea of how far your driver can go as well as your 7 iron.  Armed with that knowledge, it’s much easier to manage your game while you’re out on the course.

 

Drive For Show is a 20-part course that will teach you, step-by-step, how to hit a Driver Straighter, Further and more Consistently.

Start with your driver and a bucket of balls.  Try different stances to discover which ones help you hit the ball further.  By hitting a lot of balls, you can find out what works and what does’nt work, on a consistent basis. Then you can switch to fairway woods and irons.  Practice the same techniques with these clubs.  You might need to buy another bucket of balls, but its well worth the money  to effectively know which clubs will give you the yardage and accuracy you need.

Golf courses often have lighted driving ranges, so even if you’re working during the day,  you can still practice your swing in the evening.  One thing to remeber while on the driving range is that you’re playing in perfect conditions.  There are no hills, there’s no sand-traps or water, and you are concentrating to the best of your ability.  Simply because you can hit a 300 yard drive on the range doesn’t always mean it’s always easy on the course.

Regardless, you can certainly learn quite a bit about your golf game while on the driving range.  Don’t pass up the opportunity to practice as often as you can. The driving range is designed for practice, so buy some balls & whack away.  You never know what you’ll discover!
