Practice ranges are a maintenance headache.
The owners of this nine-hole course have bought a few acres of corn next door that they want me to convert to a driving range. First, hope they've bought enough ground. A Great Big Bertha can raise a great big goose egg, and golfers won't be comfortable if they're less than 10 feet apart on the tee line. If a foursome starts every 12 minutes on your course, and if we assume every golfer wants to warm up for 40 minutes, you may need to accommodate about 14 golfers at any given time. That adds up to about 140 feet of width for your tee area.
