Re: Driving Range

  It would be nice if we could have a driving range where we could limit the side wind (0-1) to map clubs.  We spend up to 30 minutes just to maybe get a side wind of 0-2.  This would allow us to map all of the clubs without the fear of losing a ball in the rough or hitting out of bounds. You are still getting the hits on the ball, and as you know,  we will still go through a few sleeves just to map out the full set.

  You created a putting green to tighten up the short game, so it should be easy to create a wide open range where we could complete mapping.

  No not really as easy as you would think. With a driving range they would have to write program for every club and ball combination in the game. This includes distance elevation rollout and variable under the sun. This would require way more programming than putting and would totally screw the game up. 

  It's a feature that has been requested many times over the years and fallen on deaf ears. A no wind setting for practice would be easier but that won't happen either as it makes too much sense and the right thing to do.
