I absolutely despise practicing at ranges that have mats.  As we all know, finding a driving range that actually has real grass is now the exception.  While I understand the motivation for driving ranges to move away from the maintenance and cost of keeping a grass range, it doesn’t make me feel any better about having to hit from synthetic astro-turf and 5 inch rubber tees.  I’m convinced that my game gets worse after long sessions hitting from mats.  I have however found a couple simple tricks that will make …

Augusta National will be shorter for the Masters next year — but only by 10 yards on the scorecard, with the option to trim off a few more yards depending on the weather.
Some have expressed criticism that a longer Augusta National has taken away some of the excitement, chairman Billy Payne announced Tuesday only minor changes to the home of the Masters.
