I was out of town on a short trip at the time but, of course, I had my clubs in my car as always. I found one of those “golf domes” that are essentially a small indoor golfing range. I can’t recommend these places enough.

The one I visited was a pay by the hour type of place. So for $18 I was able to hit as many golf balls as I could in an hour. The distance you can hit isn’t very far, maybe 125 yards at the maximum, but that was still enough to know if a shot I hit was off the mark or not.

If you have a golf dome-style driving range in your area and the weather isn’t cooperating with you one day I highly recommend you check it out.

Indoor Driving Ranges Are The Best is a post from: The Golf Slice

Get to the Range 3 times a Week
A little bit of homework here and that’s setting you a challenge of getting to the driving range at least 3 times a week and hitting 100 balls or so. You’ll find that next time you go to play a round after you’ve kept your rhythm going all week, you’ll see a decrease in your scores due to shots that appear from no where because you’ve lost a little consistency.

Short Game, Short Game, Short Game
I can’t stress that short game is a big factor if not the biggest factor in scoring very low. Even if you can’t get on the range, practice putting and chipping in the comfort of your own home and develop a great feel. If you can practice on your course chipping and putting green that’ll be even better. Be better than your playing partners by practicing more than them!

Practice Really Does Make Perfect is a post from: The Golf Slice

A lot of us stuck in winter weather are forced to keep our game alive by visiting in-door driving ranges. Here are four practice tips for the driving range to help you keep your golf game sharp until the weather warms up.

1. Don’t go out there just looking to make contact. Find a flaw in your game and work on correcting it. Everyone should have a game plan before hitting the range.
2. Try and always aim for a particular target. A lot of ranges will put flags or yardage markers out for you to aim at. If that’s not available, just try to hit a general area each time.
3. It’s not all about the long ball. It’s key to get in time to work on your short game as well.
4. Don’t play for too long. It’s really easy to overwork yourself at the driving range. Your shots come fast and furiously without the normal downtime in between shots you get when playing a real round. Be careful not to overextend yourself.

These tips should be useful to any golfer, actually, regardless of the season. If you can actually go out and play a round right now then getting in practice at the driving range is important as well.

Four Practice Tips For The Driving Range is a post from: The Golf Slice

A lot of courses have a driving range on site. At the very least, most have a small practice putting green you can use. Be sure to practice both long and short shots at the range. On the practice green you can work on short chip shots in addition to putting.

When you’re on the range, try and get the most out of each practice shot you take by aiming for a specific target. Aiming in this way should help you get better distance and more control of your shot.

You can really increase your odds of starting a round off great just by hitting the driving range first and taking a few swings.
