La Mirada driving range lower deck
I'm taking a new golf class this morning for the next four weeks. I went out to the La Mirada Golf Course last night to check out the driving range (it was only the 2nd time I've been there) and to hit some balls. It was so embarassing that I playing from a higher priced grass area when I only got the cheapie bucket of balls (atleast the guy running the place was pretty nice about it and had even given me a free sleeve of Nike balls when I got my range card).
Yeah, it felt weird being at a new driving range but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I only hit 64 balls last night. The range ball are more expensive here than at Golfer's Paradise. It cost $20 for 222 balls. It's 150 balls for $8 over at GP.
** Update **
Well, I went to the GC course early and looked and looked for my instructor (described as a big man in a pink shirt). When I finally found him, 15 minutes after the class was to have start; he looked disappointed since I was the only one to show up. The instructor, JM reminded me of "John Wayne" kinda of a big barrel chest guy (in a pink golf shirt). Anyways, he wasn't going to proceed without more people so he invited me to join his 9am beginner's class next week and he'll just take me aside for my intermediate lessons for the next four weeks. Atleast I got my $20 range card and my $6 range card for the day. I got to hit 67 plus 6 balls on the practice range this morning. Pretty good iron shots, so so with my 3 & 5 woods but I got in some pretty good driver action. I guess I'm gonna to have to wait another week for my lessons.
The 2nd day of the Ryder Cup on on right now ... poor Team USA is getting whipped again! Why can't Tiger play with a partner (who happens to be the #3 player of the world)!
