Not unlike DCB, I had my first outdoor range session today!
As you can see from the picture, the start of the season is nearly here!
Obviously they had ploughed and sanded the range so that all the snow had melted but there was a a centimeter of sand even on the few range mats they had laid out (or were purposefully left behind from last year). You also need to pick your own balls and clean them.
Needless to say, all built-up dreams of demolishing course records were quickly destroyed with the first couple of swings. After a bit of work, then losing it again and figuring things out for the second time, the swing started to be playable again.
The 850 hybrid was pure gold once again from start to finish whereas I could hit some good shots with the 650 5 wood only towards the end of the session.
The wedges were one big nightmare again though. I'd need a center-shafted model to avoid wearing out the hosel.
