If you are an avid golfer, you likely have your golf course accessories down to a science.
However, if you are just starting out you may be wondering what do you even put in your golf
bag? There are several things golfers like to keep on hand while out on the golf course. Once
you have been a few times you will tailor your golf course accessories to your specific needs
but there are several items that are safe for starting out. See below for a list of items to
consider placing in your golf bag.
1. Golf ball and tees: This probably seems fairly intuitive. You can’t play golf without your
ball and tees. Make sure that you bring plenty of spare balls and tees in case you lose a
few throughout the day which is inevitable.
2. Ball markers: A ball marker is a small, flat object that is the size of a coin that is placed
behind the golf ball to mark its position before the ball is lifted off the ground when you
hit it. This will allow you to improve your swing over time.
3. Range finder: A range finder measures the distance from you to another object. Many
golfers use this device to help you gauge where to hit the ball.
4. Golf gloves: Golf gloves are extremely common accessories and help to create more
friction between your hand the grip of your club.
5. Sunscreen: Most golfers spend hours or even all day out golfing. You want to make sure
you bring protective wear such as sunglasses and a hat but don’t forget the sunscreen as
well!

Living on a golf course or any kind of a putting green has its pros and cons. Without a proper
golf ball barrier netting some serious damage can occur. However, assuming the correct golf
ball barrier netting has been put into place, living on a golf course can be quite wonderful.
Many people pay a hefty premium to live in such a location. Below are a few pros and cons of
living on a golf course.
 Location: If you are an avid golfer, it doesn’t get much better than walking down to the
putting green anytime you like. Most local residents are voluntarily members of the
local golf course or are required to by HOA.
 Privacy: Backing to a golf course provides a great deal of privacy as people are only
seldom walking/driving by and it is a private area. This also helps to reduce any noise
pollution quite a bit. A negative regarding privacy is that periodically you will share your
privacy with a passing golf cart or golfer momentarily.
 Views: Golf courses have pristine views. Living on a golf course allows you to take
advantage of these views on a daily basis. A con to the view is that you will be sharing it
with those on the golf course as well.
 Landscaping: Golf course locations are known for their immaculate maintenance. This is
absolutely wonderful in terms of maintaining the views, etc. but it does mean that you
will have to deal with regular gardening and maintenance noise.
 Amenities: There are likely many wonderful amenities that come with being a member
and/or living on the golf course. These amenities likely include a club house, events,
pool, etc. but they will probably come with the hefty membership fee.

Golf course accessories are a fun way to either add obstacles or make things easier
when you are out golfing, but what if you want to improve your game? Many avid golfers get
stuck in a rut of the same old thing and just accept that they are only going to be so good. There
are many techniques you can use to improve your game and get better each time that you
practice. Below is a short list of things that you can do to improve your golf game.
1. Make sure your vision is ok: You should make sure that you are visiting your
optometrist annually to check that your vision has not changed. Ensuring your vision is
at its best will make sure that your swing is not hindered by any outside reason.
2. Get fit for your club: Over 2/3 of avid golfers are using the wrong size club. Using the
wrong size club will hinder your performance without you even realizing it.
3. Hold your pose: Holding your pose at the end of your swing will complete the swing and
make sure that the swing is in sync. This will become great muscle memory for your
technique moving forward.
4. Practice with your worst ball: Practicing with the worst ball that you have noticed lacks
in performance will condition your swing for adversity. This will allow you to perform at
your best during the best and worst of conditions.
5. Practice pitching sidearm: When you throw a ball with your sidearm it will naturally
cause your weight to shift from your back foot to your front foot through the side of
your body. This is the same muscle technique used in a proper swing. Practicing the
sidearm throw will help you condition your body for a proper swing.
If you are utilizing golf course accessories to help improve your golf game, we suggest trying
some of the above techniques as well.

Golfing in the snow is a great winter past time. Many people often wonder if
it is even possible, and the answer is yes! However, it is not nearly as “easy” as it is
during the warmer months – not that golf is ever considered easy. Making sure you
have the best driving range equipment can ensure you have your best shot at a
successful swing. Of course the biggest difference between snow golf and summer
golf is there is snow and ice rather than grass! In fact, they call in the “whites”
instead of the “greens.” This one change can make for an entirely new experience.
The temperatures in the winter can make it difficult to stay warm and
precisely hit the ball. You lose the most heat through your hands and head so it is
best to wear proper coverings. Consider wearing a warm hat and flexible gloves.
Your hands will be best kept warm if you add hand warmers inside your gloves so
that you can have a proper swing. Wear lightweight clothing so that you can move
your body with agility. It is harder to hit the ball just as far in the winter as it is in
the summer so you will want to prepare as best as possible. Having the best driving
range equipment possible is the only way to make sure stand the best shot at having
a successful snow golf experience.
We have a wide range of the best driving range equipment available. If you
have any questions about the right fit for your body type, size, or event we would be
happy to help advise you. We look forward to helping you have fun this winter
engaging in snow golf!

Golf is a very intricate game that takes a great deal of patience and practice.
Having the proper golf driving range equipment can also help make all the
difference. There are many tips and tricks that you can use to help improve your
game but nothing replaces good old fashioned hard work. Make sure you go into a
golf routine with an open mind knowing that it is a marathon and not a race. It is the
simple, every day improvements that will make long-term differences. Below are a
few tips to improving your technique that you will want to take into consideration.
 Slow Down: A common mistake many golfers make is moving too quickly
when in fact you can increase your swing speed by taking your time. Make
sure you get set-up before you even swing. Consider observing your
surroundings, the wind speed and direction, use sunglasses when necessary,
and don’t forget to focus.
 Grip: Don’t tense up so much that you are using an incorrect grip and
pressure as this can strongly influence your swing. Too firm of a grip means
that the flow of the club will be too rigid and can cause slicing. Too loose of a
grip and you could lose your club entirely – yikes!
 Eye On The Ball: Don’t forget to keep your eye on the ball the entire time!
Many golfers get distracted by looking at the target and forget to keep their
eye on the ball through the entire swing.
 Consistency: Remember that practice makes perfect and helps to improve
muscle memory. A lot of your swing falls back on muscle memory so the
more you practice the perfect swing the more naturally it will come.
Practice regularly using the proper golf driving range equipment and you are
sure to improve your golf game in no time!

Have you been struggling to improve your golf game? Maybe you feel like
you’ve just been in a rut recently. A lot of times we get complacent with our
activities when we don’t force ourselves to be challenged. This complacency is
particularly obvious in golf, which requires a great deal of discipline. You will want
to utilize the driving range equipment at your facility to the best of your ability to
continue to challenge and push yourself as you improve. Below are a few basic
things you can do to keep up your golf game.
1. Set Goals: Setting both long-term and short-term golf goals allows you to
work on specific things. If you know specifically what you want to improve it
becomes easier to take steps towards improving those things. Allowing
yourself to set both long-term and short-term goals allows more immediate
gratification while working towards a longer goal.
2. Get Fitted: It is important that you use both the proper clubs and balls. Make
sure you are properly fitted for the ones that fit your body just right.
3. Experiment With Your Swing: A lot of times we just accept our swing for
what it is. This can be particularly true the longer you have been a golf
enthusiast. If you want to improve, a great place to start is by experimenting
with your swing. You might surprise yourself!
4. Create A Routine: You may have noticed that most professional athletes
have a specific set of steps they do before a main event. This is because it
creates muscle memory within the body and leads to optimal performance.
Consider creating your own golf routine that you enter into before each
swing.
If you are looking for ideal driving range equipment we have the best
solutions for you. We look forward to helping you improve your golf game!

There are an infinite amount of golf course accessories that you could possibly have at your course. Depending on the skill level of your players will determine what you should have on hand.

• Baskets: If you are looking to practice short-range shots a basket is extremely helpful. We have a variety of styles and sizes to offer.

• Range Bags: Range bags can come in many different styles including: draw string, mesh, and stackable cordura.

Maintaining your stride when it comes to golf is all about practicing. Whether you go to the driving range on the weekends or regularly play with a few friends, there are many different ways to keep up your skill. One of these is through using a golf net. 

When it comes to golf nets, there are two main mesh styles, knotted and knotless. Knotted is ideal for the beginner golfer since it can be repaired if it breaks unlike the knotless format. When it comes to safety, these nets are measured in ‘ply’ which is the equivalent of the numbers of layers used to make up the net. Depending on your level of play and how often you think you will be using the net, durability is another factor. Nylon is the ideal material because it holds up better overtime in comparison to polyester. 

Once your net is set up, you will slowly start to realize how beneficial practicing with it is. Practicing this way is not about the distance or location of where the ball ends up. Rather it is about fine tuning your swing itself and therefore how the strike feels. Once you secure the feeling, you will better be able to practice on consistency. This will improve your whole game significantly and then allow you to practice achieving the same motion while on the course. Over time, you will be able to call upon each swing in its playable moment through the power of muscle memory. 

Wherever you are using the golf net at your local golf club or even have one set up in your backyard, a large benefit of it is having one accessible to you. Especially as we saw during quarantine when golf courses were shut down to accommodate local and national regulations, the opportunity to practice is huge. Spending a short amount of time each day on using your practice net will not only help to keep your golf game up, but also keep your stress levels down. 

At Rangemaster, we carry golf driving range equipment as well as golf barrier netting. You can also find two popular variations of a golf net on our website.
