Gatineau Range - Distance to flags
I asked the young lad working the booth yesterday what the distances were to each of the three flags in the field at the Gatineau range (Edey Rd in Aylmer). He said he wasn't sure , but thought it was 75, 125 and 150. That doesn't seem quite right to me (especially the 2nd and third one look closer than 125 and 150), and was wondering if any of you had ever used a scope to measure them from the tee decks (left of the booth), and if so, what are the distances?
ThanksIs the Pope catholic? Does a bear crap in the woods? Does Ricky Fowler wear orange on finals Sunday?

You can use distance measurement tools with Google Maps to figure out how far it is, and its quite accurate. Just use it when in satellite mode since you should know where the flags are. I've never been to that range so I can't tell you exactly, but I see a large hill/mound towards the back left which is 173 yards lol. There's 3 blackish dots, but I'm not sure if those are the flags. Anyways, check out for yourself :p

Checked today: 50, 100 and 125, as I suspected.

Most range balls are pretty badly beaten so an adjustment of 25 yards may be more accurate than you'd think.
They could be using limited range balls, Hunt Club is one where the range balls are specially made to be about 50% of the flight of a real golf ball.Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

What Kilroy said. Most driving ranges are adjusted for the balls, so while it might say 150 and with those balls play 150, and you'll range it at 125ish.
The difference between involvement and commitment are like a egg and ham breakfast, the chicken was involved, the pig was commited.
