I am a golfing god on the range. I've had an instructor ask to video my swing to show his student a proper swing. The range I go to now the instructor there talks about my swing all the time. I get to the course and I throw up 90's. I think I prefer just hitting balls at the range lol.
I LOVE the driving range. I have a nice one close to my house and when I don't have time for a round of golf, I go there. It's true what happens on the range doesn't always translate to the course but, without it I wouldn't get the chance to swing the club as much as I'd like. I think Obama's stimulus package should include more ranges everywhere......
Kelly, I have read that thread and I am very interested in the Vision Track. My thought was to finish out the year (as is, on the course) and start working on my swing itself this winter. We have an indoor dome that is pretty good for iron practice. I think I am going to pick one up then.
I've posted this elsewhere before, but I don't care for driving ranges either. For me though, it's an attention span thing.
Most I can deal with is a small bucket just to warm up. Anything more and my mind starts to wander and that's where the mistakes and negative thoughts happen.
What's the weather like, Gray? I'm may be looking for a place to play in the winter for a week or so that has semi decent temps and won't break the bank.Or you could come down to Georgia and play golf with KellyBo and myself during the winter months

Sean I will send you a pm about a outing that I would like to have for our southeastern group sometime in November. The weather is very pleasant up to January & February in Ga. More info in the pm.
When I do practice I take my shag bag to an old par five hole that they still mow the grass and maintain the green with course conditions. It's perfect for nine iron in, pitches, lobs, and putts. It's much better shape wise than our regular driving range which gets beat up with the constant pounding of non members who hit a bucket of balls instead of playing a round.
i think JP makes some good points. i use to fall victim to the "i need to hit all of them b/c i paid for them", but he's right, i often find that when i'm done and i have balls left and i hit them, i rush through them and then something weird creeps in and it's hard to shake.
there's more to being at the range for me than just hitting balls as well. i like being outside, listening to the sounds of club contact, i like peeping into other's bags, seeing what equipment they're playing, and i'm a bit of a talker out there as well. i've made some decent golf buddies on the range.
at any rate, range time is important to me, but i can have bad range sessions too. when things are going south i just go to the chipping/pitching area and slow things down, concentrate more on keeping things still and making good contact.
don't worry hawk, next time you go out there, you'll be hitting everything pure, that's how this crazy game works.
awesome post TC...sums up my feelings about range time exactly. I've learned that if bad moojoo starts to creep in, I start hitting wedges again until my mind clears and my swing comes back. if it doesn't I walk away and spend extra time on the putting green
