Getting Past the Price of Golf

The local private golf course wants close to $35 USD to use their driving range. Outrageous! It is only $15 more (weekdays after 2:00 PM) to play nine holes including your caddy. (Caddies are not optional, they are required.) So Eric came up with a solution; he made his own driving range. (It helps when your family has a big ranch.) And it is less than a mile from our house.

His plans for upgrading our new venue include having his mother sew flags for the range markers and moving his airstream trailer to the site, to serve as a clubhouse. His family is now producing grapes and making wine on the ranch so homemade wine will be available at the clubhouse.

So bye-bye expensive private club range. (However we’ll still need to go to the club in order to play an actual round of golf.)
