Help Keep Your Practice Range in the Best Shape Possible

We would all enjoy a larger grass hitting area on the practice range, however we are virtually landlocked. That does not mean that we are stuck with a subpar hitting area. Instead it means that it takes a bit more budget and maintenance time, and most importantly a better way to hit shots.

To maximize the use of the grass on the driving range tee, please place your ball at the grassy back edge of your previous divot, removing just a small portion of grass with each swing.

Step 1

Practice in a linear pattern by placing each new shot directly behind the previous divot.

STEP 2

Leave a strip of turf between each line of divots roughly 4” wide.
