You may also decide to build individual teeing stations. Landscape timbers may be best for defining such stations. Turf care is, of course, a nonstop headache on a practice tee. Every day, yesterday's divots should be seeded with perennial ryegrass, topdressed and fertilized in cool-season regions. Where bermudagrass thrives, divot repair can be no more complicated than topdressing and spreading a half pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet once a week.
Frequent irrigation is crucial on newly seeded areas.
On the range, you can possibly use more organic fertilizer than you could on, say, a green or a tee on the course, where golfers' expectations are higher. Many companies offer artificial grass for teeing stations. They might be the answer for a range that is too small for daily movement of the hitting line.
