Why the Driving Range Is the Best Place to Start Golf

If You’re New to Golf, Start Here

Thinking about trying golf but feeling nervous about the course?

The driving range is your best friend.

Here’s why:

1️⃣ No Pressure

At the range, no one cares if you miss. Everyone’s there to practice, hit a few balls, and have a bit of fun.

2️⃣ Simple and Affordable

You don’t need fancy gear or a membership. Most ranges let you hire a club and buy a bucket of balls for under $20.

3️⃣ Learn at Your Own Pace

Hit a few balls, watch how they fly, and adjust your swing. No rush, no scorecard, just learning by doing.

4️⃣ It Builds Confidence

Golf can feel intimidating, but hitting a clean shot—even once—at the range is the kind of small win that keeps you going.

How to Make the Most of Your Range Visit

✅ Bring a 7-iron if you have one (easy to learn with).
✅ Wear comfortable clothes and runners.
✅ Start with small, relaxed swings—don’t worry about power yet.
✅ Have fun. Seriously.
