Queuing for a double decker bay...

And if you want to copy someone's tempo, this guy isn't bad :clap:

I love that swing! And I wish that was mine!

Re the golf range...I think we have 50 bays and people are having to wait a lot of the time.
 
I could understand it the other week when it was freezing and I was one of about three hardy souls out, but I went to Blue Mountain last night and by 6.30 I was the only one left hitting balls. It was warm, no wind and I'd have thought people would have been dying to get back into it. Fine by me, I walked out and got myself another half bucket of balls. Not as if I was in any danger of being hit!
 
think these people are watching not queuing as the bay behind him is empty.

Bob I did ask that you tell me before using footage of my swing:whistle:
 
we have about 20 bays. never any bother with waiting unless its the evening of the open then everyone in town fancies themselves as darren clarke. although there was a bus load of kids there last night from a youth club. it was amazing no one died never mind get hurt.kids hitting two balls at a time. clubs swinging everywhere and young ones even crosses the line and went on the grass. the pro pulled down the shutter to the left side of the range where theres 4 bays they use for lessons. never in all my days have i seen that down. thankfully they all cleared and we had half an hours peace before closing.
 
This swing is very inspiring.

Had a lesson today where the pro was getting me to do a back swing similar to this. Shorter and slower leaving me more in control coming back through. I can only hope one day, I can get close to that swing. Makes it look so simple. Great vid! :thup:
 
In the summer my range is always mostly full, never had to queue though. At the moment though there's usually only a couple of people, although I do usually go in the evenings so that could be a factor
 
I live over the road from a double deck range and AG... When the soaps/crap telly comes on I sneak out the door!

Always fairly busy but never need to wait!
 
The range I am going to start going to is fairly busy between 6 and close in the evenings. Its dirt cheap, less than half the price of the higher quality range further down the M27. It is quiet before 6 as the rush hour traffic makes getting to it a nightmare!

It does however ave a strange setup where the bays all poing about 15 degrees to the left so its very hard to feel how you are lined up as the bays are very narrow and high sided. You feel you are just hitting at the left hand side fence rather than the end. I guess it was built with the weekend slicer in mind.

Thankfully after not having swung a club only a few times this year (one prior range trip) I happily made use of all the space to the right hand side :D
