Why bring an audience to the range?

I remember the first time my Missus caddied for me. Celtic Manor, lads week-end away. I found myself in a fairway bunker off the 1st tee. Ball was sitting up like a dogs bollock and I didn't have much of a lip in front of me so I asked her to pass me the 4 iron. Nice clean pick-up would see my either on the green or not far away. I almost caught it perfectly. Almost. Just a tad thin. Ball rocketed into the lip of the bunker, shot straight up in the air and bounced down the banking on the other side. Couldn't find it so blobbed the bloody hole. When I turned round, she was laughing.......she only ever laughed the once.
:angry:

Womans body found in bunker at Celtic Manor. A police spokesperson said she seemed to has been spit roast on the shaft of a sand iron. They say that they are looking for a man who now uses a gap wedge for bunker shots.

That's strange, I spoke to her on the phone last night and she was still laughing about it. :rofl:

She had another two hour lesson at Cooden this morning. Used her "big whacker" (Driver) for the 1st time. Apparantly she was hitting it rather well. I just wish she'd use the correct terminology. She calls tees "sticks". Fecking hell
 
At Silvermere recently, Heidar Helguson (QPR striker) brought his wife down to the range. And that was oh so fine with me :thup:

Opposite Birmingham City's training ground, is a driving range. You often see some of the players at the range, having a swing after training, and most of the backroom staff, in the cafe, that accompanies the range. (Doesn't say much for Blues' catering!!)

I must add, that Maik Taylor, ex Blues goalkeeper, now at Leeds I believe, looked pretty tidy at golf, as I saw him hit a few balls there before!
 
I'll be honest....my missus has been to the range with me quite a few times and she often has a hit herself.

50 balls will take me 30 mins. She grabs a coffee and then watches me for a bit and then we're done = simples.
 
I'm lucky I guess that the range I use at Maidenhead is tucked away and so doesn't tend to attract too many groups of lads showing off and causing mayhem. You get the odd kid with their dad who can get a bit whiney and bored, especially if they can't hit it but mostly its guys like us all trying to find the "magic" formula.
