  • It's the escape where golfers of all skill gather to grind. Club twirlers, club droppers, and every swing in between, you are welcome just the way we are right here at the range.
    Roger Steele is on a mission to find the most unique U.S. range on Driving Range Diaries, presented by Adidas Golf.
    For his first stop, Roger visits a lively spot in SoCal with plenty of heart and soul, mixed with a little bit of trash talk.

    It's difficult finding people that respect the game.
    Invest time in it and truly kill the ego.
    I'm always askin people that come by if I could play next to em for a round. Lotta times it's great just chatting and exploring their perspective.
    One thing I'll say to anyone out there.. don't tell people what you think unless they ask you. Big tip there.
    It really lets you focus on you and easier for people to conversate normally.

      Hitting those shots on the range is really important. Eventually you'll have a situation on the course that calls for it and you've put in the work and you can trust your ability to pull it off.

    - not allowed go out pick up golf balls on the range
    - no food or alcoholic beverages ( depending which golf clubs )
    - only 1 person stay in driving range bay ( health and safety reason )
