Let’s clarify one thing right off the bat, er, club. The term “driving range” is a misnomer. Teaching professionals refer to those large patches of terrain as “practice ranges” for good reason. In fact, most pros will advise you to use your driver sparingly on the range, as you would on the course. Whatever you call them, these ranges are ideal for practicing with just about every club in your bag. Many have putting greens and sand bunkers, as well as areas specifically for chipping and pitching. 1, record 1, English, - practice%20range
