No more rules needed, I go there all the time and simply do what Mortal1 stated "I get a bucket...go to a station where the person is getting low on balls and instead of just waiting(as they may get another bucket)I ask if they're going to hit more balls when those are gone...then I wait. Busy time of year...patience is required, but please don't suggest a numbering system".

No numbers please. Be patient. Aren’t we retired. Sit on bench and enjoy the great weather and friendship of other people waiting

Leave most of your sticks in your car/cart...and ignore the range.

Go practice your chipping and putting...to have the best chance at lowering your scores.

My only observation...and I won't classify it as a complaint...is the number of people who hit a ball every couple of minutes. Last week I picked out a fellow who was about through his bucket and then he took a couple of phone calls, and then he chatted with the fellow next to him etc. I'm not one who thinks folks need to machine gun through the bucket, but some common courtesy when people are waiting would be nice. I finally moved to another spot and when that person was finished and I hit my bucket...my original target was back on the phone with two or three balls still left. Again, just an observation...my grandfather lived to be 105 by minding his own business and I intend to follow that lead.

Yapping on the phone is one thing I guess but some people are there to work on tempo and rhythm. I hit a few with different clubs and take a couple minute breaks in between.

I agree, I have had to wait many times. Someone looks like they are finishing up only to get another bucket of balls. Than you are waiting again.

When I practice on the range. I stand behind the ball and pick my target and something a foot away from the ball that the ball will go over. I take my grip and make sure I'm far enough away from the ball. I set my feet. Straighten my back and push the club back not lift it, swing and chunk it. Every swing has been an experiment for 50 years. Why do I love this game?

Your right beachbum....a little courtesy would go a long way. Some only think about themselves.
