Ok the take balls home is more of a joke at the end of the video. Not something I typically do. 😂

[Svinky-mate]

I'd get shot if i tried smuggling an extra large bucket of golf balls into my car boot like you just did mate.

[Thachosenone]

$30 for a bucket and short game area is insane

1. wear your golf shoes. 2. go to short game area first, if range has one. 3. have a practice plan . ie spend a lot of time in the bunker, if they have one, 4. practice putting have a plan for practicing pitting never use range balls for putting. USE YOUR REAL GOLF BALLS 5. tap putter on green every time you sink a putt. becomes positive reinforcement. 6. do not wear ear phones while practicing. 7. don't need largest size bucket 8. choose different spot on driving range every time 9. if possible, move mat towards target 10. look for free range balls 11. always work your wedges, wear it out. bonus: always clean your grooves. Secret: you might not view "borrowing range balls until next time" but the driving range does view it as stealing.

I knew the second u said take the balls with you. People were going to lose their minds! 😂 So predictable! Love your videos!!!

Tip #13.. after working with specific clubs or whatever you hit with on the range.. save about 20 or so balls and at then visualize playing a couple of holes that you know/remember well.. setup.. pre shot your drive.. hit.. based on the flight/landing pretend you are there now for the next shot.. pre shot routine..hit etc.. play 2, 3, 4, etc holes. Range practice with specific clubs is fine… but remember that on the real course you’re not hitting your driver or 7 iron 10-15 times in a row…

Loved everything about the video.
No Earbuds- Check
Different Bays- Check
Short Game- Check
Wedges- Check
Taking Balls with You- ABSOLUTELY NOT
I all appreciate how generous you are when you travel and the effort you put into making every video.
But taking range balls and leaving.
That will get you banned at ranges around this area.
It’s just a bad look.

30 bucks for a range session?!?! Fuck that. $14 for a large bucket here in Ohio with free short range practice.

Tip no.12 stop hitting on They are very deceiving and do not replicate a real shot!

[myxom]

There's a couple of good tips, but honestly, the biggest tip on the practice is to do your full preroutine on each balls... tips given by bob rotella... he mentionned that 80% of your shot happen in the preroutine and you should train it to be confident

[stevecaldwell]

Maybe tip number *11 should be “Pass on the good golf practice vibes by leaving the free golf balls you found at the range.” 😂

[phileoness]

I pay $30/mo for a range pass at my course. It’s not nearly as nice as that place, but I like not concerning myself with the cost when I go practice. It also motivates me to not let it go to waste. Plus, when I go out to play, I can grab warmup bucket, hit a few and not be concerned, again, with the cost. Our green fees are also part of the membership. Small town life!

Matt, I just want to thank you for fixing my cupped left wrist. I had to square the club face and still got to a 5 handicap but now I'm confident that I'll lower it. Hope to meet and thank you personally one day. You're the best!

[monkeyfacesenior]

Don't steal the balls please... we need them at the range to use!

[isthereanavailable]

I couldn't help but laugh. One range by me has signs posted saying taking range balls home is stealing and will prosecute. That's why I get the small bucket and search for the donations. LOL

Quoting "Master of your wedge domain"....
Reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where they coined the term "Mater of my Domain". 😂

Taking unhit range balls at the end of the day? I actually saw an old guy do that at the local range one day. He had about half a bucket left, and opened up the big pocket on his golf bag and poured the golf balls into his bag. He told a couple of friends that he'd be back the next day. 😵

Expensive range. The muni golf range closest to me charges $15 for 100 balls, but you can load up a range card and get discounts the more you prepay. My effective cost is around $12 for 100 balls.

The short game area looks great. I don't have anything close to that that's less than about an hour in traffic.

[littletiger]

Most public ranges have some portion of balls that are in crap condition (warn dimples, cuts, etc.). My tips: 1) Don't hit the crap balls as the flight can give you misleading information. 2) If you do hit the crap balls, use them on your shorter clubs where ball flight is shorter. Save the best balls for your longer clubs. If a ball is really trashed with big cuts, throw it in the trash on your way out. You'll be doing the range and future guests a favor.

You should come to Las Vegas and do a series one at Angel Park, right next door is the TPC Las Vegas and paiute with 54 holes along with new hitting ranges atomic golf, top golf and many more courses

[edlo]

Before hitting the range, where you can't retrieve the balls, always use your bucket of balls for chipping practice first.

I haven’t been home to San Diego for awhile (Fry’s was still open and The Murph still standing when I left). I see the range grass conditions could use some love.
