Distance fitting in Melbourne

[aym]

Hi All,

I saw a recent video from "Mark Crossfield whereby he had his Mizzy's fitted by distance, I assume his used his launch monitor hit some balls and marked his yardage on his club rather than relying on iron number.

I thought this was a great idea and looking to do it myself, does anyone know where I can get this done in Melbourne? or do I just need to go to Albert park and pay for a lesson but just to use their launch monitor?

Thanks in advance!

Crappy range balls won't help. Maybe try royal Melbourne? They've got a trackman and their range balls are Srixon XV's.

To some extend, not enough tho.

Have you got a range finder? Park on Lakeside drive at the 4th hole, hit 3 or 4 balls from under the gum tree in front of the ladies tee (i always wonder why the ladies are expected to hit over a tree). Stand in the middle of the grouping and range the gum tree. Its nice and wet at the moment so you wont get much roll. If you go mid week around lunch time the course is deserted.

This ^^

Or, go to your course on arvo, stand at the 150m mark and ping some balls at the green. Work out what club reaches it.
Then, step forward or backwards 10 steps and work it out...

thanks guys, but the above all seems too hard... maybe I'll just book a lesson but use their trackman instead..

Trackman is good, but nothing beats real world conditions, off grass with your normal game balls.

I can always use range ball to play ;P

Yeah my commitment to golf is limited to driving range and game day, probably why I haven't improved as much as I should..

So how do you decide what club to hit now? If you're 150m out, what do you hit?

If you're free on Thursdays I have a launch monitor you can use. Out of interest; if you found the gaps to be uneven, would you be looking to adjust lofts/lengths? Or do you just want to know how far each club goes..
