Yes before you say anything it seems strange that a mad facist duck should enjoy golf but there it is.
So last night a trip to the Brickhampton driving range went ahead me and mate and his dad went along. If you've never been to a driving range before i reckomend that you go. Even if you don't play golf, just remember head down, knees bent and swing at the ball not samck it for all it's worth.
Any way at the range you get pay a few quid for a token then you put that in a machine that will deposit balls. Being stupid as i am i had a sudden vision of what could be achieved by putting a token in and not putting a basket in underneath. Then appeared to me that what it would is mayhem people slipping on the balls while you run around trying to pick them up.
Any way while we were there twice we had to stop playing while one of the dipsticks on the learns course had let go of his golf club and it flew on the driving range. How stupid can you get. Yes let go of the club whilst your swinging it. What an idiot.
The second time someones head had come off. No a golf club head not that they had suddenly died whilst hitting a few balls. Then again it could have been interesting.
At the far end of the range there was a sign shaped like a bell on it someone had written "ring my bell" at a first galnce i igmored it then it came to me that it was a bit dirty on the golf course. Perhaps they could of choosen a different thing to write such as....... well if you can think of a better one i'll hear it.
In the end i hit about 100 balls half with me seven iron and the other with my pitching wedge. All of seven iron hits were either topped or had a dreadful hook on it. Still i haven't played for about a year so i wasn't up to much.

I find golf relaxing. I bet it was damn funny seeing a club fly onto the driving range.
I used to spend a few hours every weekend on a driving range. the best I ever got my handicap was about 18, at the age of 14 or thereabouts. It was about then I stopped playing.
I let go of the club in midswing once, god how embarassing that was. Let go of a 5 iron, and noticed just as I did that I wasn't wearing my golf glove, and the club had slipped from my sweaty palms.
Sheepishly put on my glove, and asked the staff to go get my 5 iron, which was about 20-30 metres out, and with as many amatuers around as there were, I sure as hell wasn't risking life and limb to go out and get it.
