Started having a little discussion on this in the Morgan Cup thread but thought I would start a new one so others might see it and give their thoughts. The question is do you feel you get better practice and make more improvements by spending more time on the course or the range?
For me, I really struggle on the range even when I may be playing some good golf on the course. If anything, the range can sometimes hurt my confidence which carries over into my game on the course. I could go to the range and catch every since ball fat and then go to the course and not have a single fat shot for the entire round. I attribute it to better concentration I guess.
I have been to some ranges that are nice and have greens to shoot at rather than just signs with yardage markers randomly placed around the range, and I tend to hit the ball better then. Once I get a good judgement of how far one of the greens is I can grab a club and hit for the green, and I usually have more success than just hitting down a range that really has no targets.
