How do I use the driving range? | The Beginner's Guide to Starting Golf
Paige Spiranac provides a comprehensive orientation for new golfers on how to effectively use the driving range and practice facilities. She emphasizes the importance of facility etiquette, explains how to determine personal club distances using range targets, and outlines the proper use of chipping and putting greens.
Always stay within designated practice areas and ropes to protect the turf and maintain safety.
Use the driving range targets to learn how far you hit each club, which is essential for on-course play.
Respect the specific purposes of practice areas; avoid chipping on putting greens unless explicitly allowed.
The range is an ideal low-pressure environment for beginners to gain confidence before playing a full round.
Check for courses with night ranges if you have a busy daytime schedule.
