Too often golfers practice at the range only to find they can't repeat their performance on the course. That's because range mats bounce your club and you tend to decelerate on impact or scoop the ball for fear of injury. You get on the course and start chunking the ball. My range's grass area is hardpan dirt. Divothit can be used anywhere.
Hardpan dirt is perfect.
Use it in your backyard to practice the important short game. Encourage your range to provide an area you can hit from, you'll probably sneak onto some grass anyway. There is none.
