You must have some big hitters at your course 546 in 2 shots.
Even most on forum can put it out at 300 yards ? but 246 might be to much for their second shot ?
Standing on a virtually empty range and some wannabe came along with the full tour bag, speed sticks, alignment sticks, earphones in and plops his bag in the next bay. You've got 22 other bays so why stick yourself next to me and annoy me with your presence. Couldn't keep the laughter in when he shanked two in a row (hope the music was turned up on the earphones)

Nice attitude. Laughing at someone on the range for shanking?
246 yards is easy - you’ve clearly never seen me faced with a 60 yard pitch ?

You sure that wasn’t a mirror you were looking into. ?
Sorry Homer I couldn’t resist

But if you are a big hitter you go straight over the lake instead of going round it, making the hole play significantly shorter.

You don’t help yourself on here sometimes do you. As someone with their own swing troubles currently, can’t believe you would laugh at someone else who may be having issues of his own.
It was the scenario. Looked like he thought he was on a tour range. Shiny blades, tour bag, ages setting the phone up to take pictures, and the irritation of having to be right next to my bay (and disrupting my own practice) when there was plenty of room elsewhere. Plenty have laughed at my own incompetence on ranges

I know exactly how Homer feels, it's happened to me before and is totally unnecessary.
Oh, and I totally get him having a little chuckle, too.
It's akin to going into a mens' urinal and using the middle one of three ........................................ you just don't do it.

Ah ok that’s a different matter, our last hole is a dogleg par 4 but it’s a 270 yard Carry over a loch , some of the big hitters can go for the green.
Big hitter today hit it to the back of the green sure makes the game easier when you can hit it that far. ?

Something similar happened to me last Friday. I'd got an early finish and headed to the range for a bonus practice session, it was pretty much empty, one guy at the far left, so I headed to the far right of the range and set my kit up. At 10 mins in and all going well until a young lad and lass came noisily onto the range, full decibels chatting so you couldn't help but hear them arrive.. anyway I carried on as they got balls and instead of going somewhere in the empty middle area they came and plonked themselves right next to me.. ok, no probs at all, I can focus on my own practice, it can be noisy at times and it doesn't (usually) bother me at all. The lad starts hitting balls, and is hitting them well... but then it's the lasses turn.. she clearly only has 1 volume, very loud, borderline shouting "look at me" as she starts announcing to the world that she use to play off single figures and won lots of trophies as a junior (fair play I thought, she's gonna stripe it) The lad then points out that her high heel boots probably aren't the best for golf, she replies "I was a top level figure skater as a junior as well so I have good balance, no probs in these boots" (or words to that effect) By now I'm thinking they might be a new couple because there wasn't a single thing in the world which she hadn't done and wasn't a winner at (impressing the new fella and all that) So after another 10 mins of noisy warbling she finally gets to hitting a ball.. if she'd ever previously swung a club in her life I'd be very surprised let alone played off single figures, the first ball flew into the separation net between me and them which sharp woke me up. Ball re-teed, air shot, followed by a top, another air shot - no probs, everybody starts somewhere but why do you have to shout everything none stop!! Turns out she use to play top level hockey as well she said, and it was that which was affecting her golf swing. At that point I packed my kit up, and trundled down to the left side of the range. The guy who was already there had a huge grin on his face as he nodded to me setting up in the next bay along.
Surely that's the point of this thread is to moan??
