I've been going to the driving range a lot lately. Several times a week, in fact. It's weird that I don't know what the verb is to describe "going to the driving range" succinctly. "Driving" usually refers to operating an automobile, and "golfing" usually refers to playing 9-hole/18-hole.
In any case, I think I'm getting pretty decent at hitting the ball straight and far with the irons, after two summers of struggling massively. The woods still boggle my mind. It's gotten to the point now where I can drive 80%+ of my 3-irons straight for 200+ yards, which is encouraging; however, I probably hit 30%- of my 1-woods for about the same distance. That is dumb.
Also, putting is impos. Seems like people should be way more concerned about being able to putt, rather than being able to drive, since approx half of your strokes are from the putting green. Or at least that's what it seems like, since I 2- or 3-putt every hole.
Also, I think I will try to become good at golf without taking any lessons at all. Long-term, this is probably a bad decision, but I think it's way more interesting to figure it out on my own.
I will def try to go golfing a lot in this, the year of my seniority.

it should be "ranging." as in, "I plan on ranging today." although, it looks oddly similar to "raging" and going to the driving range is certainly not that.
