Open Letter to Driving Ranges
I am a fan of going to the driving range and polishing my swing. But there is an element that no driving range has ever had and the first one to listen to me will change the game: uneven lies.
What Do You Mean There is No Driving Range!
Not every golf course has a driving range so what do you do if you can’t hit a bucket of balls before stepping on the 1st tee?
