Driving Ranges are the key to new golfers

As the cost of land value has been on the rise over the years, the cost of golf has also increased. If you are new to golf and having a hard time justifying spending the high cost to learn to play, go to the driving range and save your money. Golf is really broken into three things, driving, chipping and putting. At the driving range you can work on perfecting the first two for only a few bucks and then go play a round when you feel you are ready.

Nothing is more frustrating for a new golfer than spending half of the time chasing wild shots that are no where near the fareway. Tall grass, ponds and trees tend to make most new golfers want to walk away after only a few holes. If you go to a driving range you can work all of the kinks out of your strokes making your experience that much more enjoyable.

At the range, you can get a bucket of balls for cheap and bring your own clubs. Start out with your woods on the tee and keep shooting until you can get a nice straight shot at a reasonable distance. The key to practice is form. Make sure you are driving it straight and not just hitting it to see how far it can go. Once you get your shots fairly straight, drop a few balls on the grass and work thru your irons. Again, just work on getting the shots straight and a find the right form where at the end of the shot you feel comfortable and confident you can repeat it over and over again.
