AK Look-a-like
Just trying to blow off some steam.
I usually try and go to a grass range at all possible, but since winter has been lingering I have been forced to go to the only outdoor range that is open year round (Big Oak for all you WNY). They have artificial grass mats, but where you hit off of is a different type of "fluffier" mat.
Yesterday I was there and every shot I made was high on the face to inside near the heel (I even hit some off the hosel which I have never done in my golf lifetime!). I couldn't understand what was going on since in weeks prior I was doing none of the above.
Then I realized (at the end of my bucket) that the mat I was using was warped to hell, the thing was practically cupped in a "U" shape making the hitting area severely higher. To add insult to injury the range was sloped upwards, therefore this all combined to these wacky contact shots. There goes $8 and an hour of my time down the drain.
Anyone experience similar range woes?
