golfing lessons
matt f asked:


I am going to start taking golf lessons soon, but one thing I am concerned with is whether to go to a facility that has a grass driving range, or one that only has turf. A friend of mine keeps telling me, you don’t play on turf, you shouldn’t practice on it. I agree, but golf lessons tend to be cheaper at places with turf only.

      absolutely grass, as you improve there will come a time when you will never, ever, want to hit off artificial turf. So why bother now?

      GRASS! Its not the same on turf, they wont be telling you the exact thing. Plus on turf, you practilly never hit your shots pure, always hitting them thin.
