Tips for range practice
- Use grass when you can. Mats hide fat shots and are harder on your clubs.
- Practice with a target. Pick a flag for every ball.
- Spend half your time on short game. That's where scores drop.
- Check your grips. If they're slick, practice won't fix it. We regrip clubs at our shop; see regripping prices.
