This prevents any practise with a driver - fair enough. However, golfers are not allowed to hit shots of the grass, even with short irons. This limits practise to the mats. Mats, in my humble opinion, are unhelpful; often giving a false sense of security - shots still appearing to be OK.
I was consistently taking very large divots, robbing me of distance and accuracy. On the range, because of the club bouncing of the mat, my shots appeared OK. After a lesson at a rival range that allows practise of the grass, due to a much longer range, it was clear what my problem was.
I now go to this range to practise of the grass. This prevents me from damaging my course's fairways because of being unable to work on and eradicate my problem on the range. Surely, it would be better, even on a short range, to allow golfers to strike short irons, allowing for realistic practise reflecting shot conditions on the course and, protecting the course at the same time.
