driving range questions

[grove rat]

went to the tenison range with a friend who's father is an avid golfer. he gave me the basics and i made it thru a basket. it was relaxing and i want to go again but i do not have my own clubs. i borrowed a set from a friend who was out of town and my friend used his father's. can i just take a driver, or do i need a bag with a full set of clubs? do other ranges have similar rules? obviously the world of golf is foreign to me so i'm looking for some advice on driving range etiquette. thanks

There's really no rules when it comes to the driving range. Take whatever you want to practice with and whatever you're comfortable with. There have been dozens of times where I went over the The Practice Tee with nothing but a driver and 9 iron. If you do take a full set, I've always recommended to start with your wedge and work your way through the clubs up to the driver if you're really getting into it. It gives you a real feel for each club and learn what can of distance each club will bring you.

I rarely take my entire bag to the range. Typically I take a wedge, 8 iron, 4 iron and driver when I want to go through a couple buckets.

I take my whole bag, but limit myself to three clubs and only hit a small bucket then leave. If I get a larger bucket I find myself rushing and spending less time on each shot and getting sloppy quick. Get in to the habit of spending whole sessions just on chip shots and putting. Most ranges have balls scattered all over the putting green, so you don't even buy a bucket for those sessions.
