Which golf courses offers the best training areas ?
Re: Which golf courses offers the best training areas ?
Johan -
Lakeview GC has an all grass range. There are no amenities on the range itself though, and no cover. It's a normal size and you can get balls in the Pro Shop.

Re: Which golf courses offers the best training areas ?
Black Mountain is without doubt the best facility, great short game area/lovely putting green and great turf to hit from.
Re: Which golf courses offers the best training areas ?
Good thought JW, but Johan has already mentioned Black Mountain in a reply:
"Thanks but they want you to hit on plastic herb at the driving range... it's unacceptable if you want to learn how to touch the ball and then the ground to give spin to the ball. No "good" pros will ever training on plastic, you don't have the same feeling and you can't hit the ball correctly on the course.
If you want you can come at black mountain on 16 December and see how real pros training, without any plastic, look at the ball when they hit it, you will be very surprised what's it's going on there."
I also looked back at the first post and Johan mentions "high herbs training", which I was puzzled about until looked at the above and see he mentions hitting on "plastic herbs"........O.K. Johan, must be part of your language which doesn't translate well......could you please tell us what "high herb training is"......
Thanks......and thanks for the promo about Dec. 16.......more information would be appreciated if the Mods don't nail you for advertising.

No promo for 16 December, it's just the final of the asia tour at Black mountain. All of the best pros will be there and hitting off the ground at the driving range before play at the course. You can follow them and see how they play.
In France we say Rough for the high herbs area, i don't know how you can say it in english. You have the fairway then if you miss your shot you are in the rough.

"Partie du parcours bordant le fairway et qui laissée à l’état sauvage peut comporter arbres, arbustes, buissons ou hautes herbes."
Hautes herbes = high herbs.
Sorry as my english is not perfect yet, difficult to understand what i'm saying most of the time

Actually he has NOT been to Black Mountain yet, as one of his post on Tuesday confirmed.
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.
