It would have to be the mother of all slices to miss the net from there!

Quite, if you manage to miss the net from that distance its time to put the clubs away and buy yourself a tennis racket.

I could clear the top of the net with my driver from there, all it takes is the tee a little high.

Might be time to check out your launch angle, also paint in the sky marks on the top of that driver!

I always end up with the dodgy extra high rubber tee on the driving range and whenever a driver or three wood comes out of the bag it pings off the top of the clun and hits the roof of the driving range. If I hit either of the matt it either bobbles alnong the floor or slices so far it leaves the driving range. (I have a ping g5 three wood and a cheap driver that have never been used on an actual golf course to preserve the safety of the public.)

Some of the tees on the driving range mats are ridiculously tall. Everyone has their own preference for tee height, however if you have more than half the ball above the top of the club face at address its going to be mighty easy to hit an angel raper. Check the ball positioning in your stance as well, for your driver you want it on the heel of your front foot.

If you do take the clubs on the course, better check out the golf insurance!

i've been known to have some pretty horrific shanks in my time. i reckon i could take out that window you can just see through the trees

set up a camcorder to film your swing aswell, i don't know about you but even my best feeling swing looks like **** on film. it's worth doing just for a laugh

but seriously, your neighbours will hate you.

While Phil's busy playing around with his ***** and net, I'd play a round with his missus if she feels left out






Not really. I'm just trying to court controversy.




I'd rather it be his sister

Good spot!

Just waiting for the missus to come home with mine - I won't be able to resist the temptation of having a go this evening, thank God the rain has stopped!

To say I live minutes away, I've never played it.

I pass by Springfield on my way to and from work so end up at the driving range there.

it could be sorted out
hdp limit would be 18.... then it could be a Stab with 3/4 handicap, that stops bandits winning.


mapperley is a great club.... if you can play there you can play anywhere
