Down on the range: Make it hard to hit fairways
Published: Last updated:
Going down the range in the winter months can, at times, seem about as appealing as a trip to a dentist who has shaking hands and a worryingly sadistic attitude towards patients. As a result, all too often, many of us get 100 balls from the machine and fire through them with absolutely no plan of attack. Here, The Bedford’s James Ridyard shows eight ways to make your time more useful.
It’s all too easy to stand there and pummel drives straight down a range which has no bunkers, water hazards or trees.
So, visualise an area on the range that represents a fairway – something around 35 yards wide.
Fire five drives down the middle of this zone, then try to hit the left-hand side of it.
Finally, try to find the right-hand side too. When you’re on the course, finding a wide fairway will seem easy.
