    Natural Grass Driving Ranges

    Hi all,

    This may sound like a dumb question, but are there any driving ranges around with actual grass to hit off of instead of astroturf? I am not used to hitting off the turf and I don't think it really helps me with any of my clubs (irons = no feel and driver = awkward to use tee placements offered) just curious.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    The 19th Tee on Carling Ave has a large grass area. Kevin Haime's place has a grass area too, but it (the grass area) is only open certain days

    How would you know? I have a feeling that practice is not high on your priority list.

    For someone that doesn't practice you did alright. Even hung with me one day when I was playing well. But that was a long time ago, and things have changed since then.

    Nope, the kicking won't stop until the game gets better, and stays that way for more than one round.

    Good idea if I actually drank alot. I'll keep it in mind though. And you're right, it is a sorry ass story. Actually verging on pathetic.

    Oh for God's Sake you finished 7th NOT 57th!!!!

    I feel that it's time to invoke some sports cliches so here we go.......
    • When the going gets tough, the tough get going
    • You have to learn how to lose before you can win
    • The road to success is a bumpy road indeed
    • Win one for the Gipper
    • Don't eat yellow snow
    Pick one of those and move on with things Geoff

    Ok, I'll abide by this since according to a member who so graciously posted recently, winter is almost here.

    This is how Geoff gets his post count so high.... the forums are his own personal MSN Messenger. I guess Dan may as well shut down the live chat portion of the site....
