I feel like etiquette can vary by driving range. Some places are more laid back than others. Anyone have experiences where the culture was really different?
Oh, for sure! I went to a range where everyone was silent. At first, I thought it was awkward, but I got used to it. Made for pretty zen practice!
It’s interesting how some people don’t realize how their actions affect others. Once, I was in the middle of a swing and someone started talking right behind me—talk about distracting!
When using the mats, be sure to replace them properly after you’re done. It helps maintain the cleanliness of the area and keeps everything organized for the next golfer.
Absolutely, and don’t forget to clean your area! A tidy spot makes it more enjoyable for everyone.

It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with any specific range rules. Some places have unique expectations regarding equipment usage and cleanliness.
True! Always read the posted guidelines. They’re there for a reason!
And please, if you borrow anything, like a ball picker or a club, return it promptly. Everyone appreciates a range where equipment is readily available.

Couldn’t agree more! It’s frustrating to see things left out of place.

If everyone followed these guidelines, the driving range would be a much nicer place. Sometimes, I wonder why it’s so hard for some people to follow basic etiquette.
Right? It’s a mystery! You would think common sense would prevail.

I’m just glad there are no range police! But can you imagine what a golf police force would look like? They’d probably ride in golf carts!
Haha! A golf police force would definitely add some humor to the day!

Reflecting on all this, it’s clear that respect for shared spaces—like the driving range—is essential. Let’s all strive to be better to foster a welcoming environment.
