It seems to me a lot of folks go out and play their round of golf without hitting the range first. I'm extremely guilty of this as I hit the range before my round maybe 1 out of every 15 times. Sometimes it's because of time. Other times I don't want to pay an extra however much to hit balls beforehand. I know I always struggle my first 3-5 holes trying to get things in order and feel my swing. Yet I still rarely hit the range.
So what if every course were to include range balls with a paid greens fee. Would you then hit the range beforehand? Do you think a majority of folks would? And what I'm wondering most, would the average persons handicap drop at all?
I honestly would probably begin to hit the range every time before the round. I wouldn't worry about only hitting 5-10 balls instead of all of them because they were already included and paid for so whether I hit only a few or all of them, it didn't matter. I think my handicap would probably benefit from the pre round practice for sure. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm tempted to try this before the rest of my rounds for the year and see how things go. I wonder how my scores would differ....
