Driving range

17 October 2009 3 Comments

A driving range is an area where golfers can practice their swing. where golfers practice to measure how far they can hit with a specific club or to improve their swing technique. Golfers come to driving range can also be a recreational activity itself for amateur golfers or when enough time for a full game is not available.

To  increase  driving distance, try to practice 7  swing technique keys:

- Give yourself a wider stance for increased stability
- If you’re right-handed, point your left toe more inline to the target
- Waggle the club head back and forth over the ball
- Stay calm and don’t hurry your backswing
- Take the club back as far as possible on your backswing
- Swing harder and put more of your right hand into the hitting the ball
- Take full advantage of the elements, especially the wind.

Many golf courses have a driving range attached and they are also found as stand-alone facilities, especially in urban areas. They are typically run by businesses or sometimes by universities. Distances are usually marked by target greens at regular distances. Driving ranges may have natural grass, similar to a golf course, or players may have to use synthetic mats that resemble real turf. Oftentimes, the grass area is available only for an extra fee, around $5.[citation needed]

Golfers pay for a large bucket of balls (30–200 balls) and hit at their leisure. Often there are golf professionals available to give lessons and instruction. Balls are retrieved by a specialty cart with a brush and roller attachment that automatically picks up balls and a cage that protects the driver from incoming balls.

In urban and suburban areas, large nets protect surrounding people and structures from errant balls. Driving ranges are particularly popular in Japan where golf courses are overcrowded and often very expensive. Many commercial driving ranges are seen in conjunction with other sports-related practice areas such as batting cages or miniature golf.
