Wet and muddy driving range

[Big85]

Do you still use your driving range of the ground is wet and muddy?

Starting to think there is no point bothering when the ground is boggy and muddy. Clubs end up with big lumps of mud on after every shot. No option of matts either

We are normally off mats so no problem there. But if ground gets too wet plugged balls become an issue for the collecting tractor.

Is there not a driving range with mats near you? Otherwise buy one of those mats (see winter mat thread) with grippers for when you go.

Spurk Mat is what's needed.

Sadly our club does not let us hit off the ground. The practice ground was turned in to a driving range and it is one of the reasons that I hardly ever practice these days.

I'm very fortunate. Close by is Express Golf (also known as Shay Grange) in Bradford has to be one of the best ranges in the country. Really helpful staff, excellent range of products, and , most of the tees have computerised distances, with club head speed etc etc. I would recommend it to anyone in the area, and the clue is.........it's always pretty busy!

I haven't hit balls on a driving range or practice ground for over 20 years.
Only time I leave home with golf clubs, is to play golf.
I have been known to bash a few in the nets before a game, if I've turned up early. But I usually just do some putting and chipping on those occasions.

We have mats to hit off at both the practice areas I use, so no issues.

We have mats to hit offal both the practice areas I use, so no issues.

I think I would prefer wet and muddy to having to hit liver, kidneys etc.!

And don't get me started on tripe or sweetbreads ?

Balls are offal as well, you know.
