On The Driving Range

Do you have the option to go to a driving range that has grass vs a mat? If you do, you should choose grass, and here’s why:

1. Grass simulates hitting on the golf course.  This is important because you want to have your practice session as closely emulate  a real drive as possible, otherwise you may be practicing techniques that won’t work on the actual golf course.
2. The grass is much easier on your equipment, which will save you money in the long run.  If you can’t afford to have a set of golf clubs exclusively used for practice and one just for play, then you want to choose grass over using a mat.
3. Using a mat is very hard on your wrist and hands.  Why deliberately choose something which will cause you possible pain in the future?

Overall, there are few reasons I can think of to use a mat, but the three above are just the beginning for why to use grass on the driving range.  If you have to drive a few minutes more to get to a grass range, we recommend it! Good luck!
