How to go to the Driving Range for Beginners!

Come along with me as I show you how you can go to the driving range as a first timer. Looking to shed those range gitters? Well I was once a girl confused at the golf course feeling out of place, now let me show you how to gain that tee time confidence! Less hitters, more glitters! I’ll also show you some of my favorite clubs to hit from wedges, irons, to driver! Plus check out my new Sunday golf bag. Let’s not forget to grab a drink from the cart girl! #cartgirl #golf #barbie #golfgear #golfgirls #golfers #sundaybag #drivingrange #golfclub #beginnergolf #howtogolf

Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Heat [Music] up [Music] Good morning, guys. Welcome back to my cartg girl life. Today, we are off the cart because we are on the driving range. I want to show you if you are a beginner or just not super comfortable with the driving range. We’re going to shake those driving range jitters and I’m going to show you what to do. Good morning. Good morning. All right, so we have our spot all picked out. I have a nice green grassy area. There are going to be different bays when you walk up. And as you can see, we have these little red bag holders on each bay. Try to go up to one that doesn’t already have a bag or balls at it. If they are all full, you will just have to wait a little while or give one of the golfers a really nice smile and maybe he’ll give you his spot. You are going to set your bag up. And I have my really cute bag, my nice custom pink, green, and yellow one. But if you are just coming to maybe hit a few clubs or don’t want to carry your whole bag around, you can get what’s called a Sunday bag. I have this one. It’s so pretty. Let’s say you just want to work on a few irons or maybe like your driver and some wedges. You just would look something like that. All right. And now we’re going to go get our balls. So, if it is your first time on the golf course and you’re not really comfortable with it, it can be quite intimidating, but there’s always somebody helpful in the pro shop or at the front. So, we’re going to go talk to them about getting our balls. Good morning. We have our wonderful Chimera staff. They’re always super nice and helpful. I can’t speak for other golf courses, but you should come here. Now, this is the pro shop. Let’s go inside. Good morning. Can I get a large bucket of balls, please? Thank you. Okay, so as you see, you just walk right up and who’s ever working at the desk, you just ask them for some range balls. There’s usually a small, medium, or large option. I always opt for the large because you never know how many balls you’re going to want to hit. If you are on a time crunch, maybe you want to opt for the small or medium. So, if you do have a tea time, they’ll usually give you a bucket of balls with your tea time. If you don’t have your own clubs, you can rent some as well. They always have rentals available and they’re usually some of the nicer clubs that are out in the market. So, it’s good to practice with those. So, as I said, we have our small, medium, large buckets. Here’s my large. I’m going to hook it on here and simply type the pin number that’s on the ticket. All right, back over to our bay. All right, we’re just going to set our balls over here. Just going to grab a glove. H I think this one matches today. Yeah, that’s going to look really cute. As you know, one of the most fun parts about golf is the accessories. So, we got to have fun with it. I like to start with the smaller irons first and work my way up. It just depends on what you want to work on that day. Maybe you are more comfortable with the driver. I’m going to start with my sandwich. So, for the irons, you don’t need a tea. Honestly, you only really need a tea for the driver. So, I’ll just go like this, knocking the balls out. And girls, make sure you stretch first because we are going to be hitting all of these. So, let’s loosen up. You can do some of these. I like to go like this. Oh, yeah. I hear some cracks and some pops. What else? What else to do? Just whatever feels right for you. Get the blood flowing, you know. Mhm. Okay. And now we are going to take some practice swings just to further loosen up. Get our swing ready. Everyone’s swing looks different, so it’s okay if yours doesn’t look like mine. Get ready to hit the balls 200 y and further. Find a target. Find something you want to hit. Um, preferably a non-moving target. We don’t want to hit our friend out there on the cart. She’s picking up the balls for us. I’m going to aim for this red pin right here. Doesn’t always go where I want it to go, but you’re going to want to aim at something because for a long time I would just come out here and hit the ball aimlessly, and that doesn’t really do anything for practice. So, don’t do that. All right. [Music] So guys, another great way to loosen up on the driving range is to get a drink from the cart girl. You can do alcoholic or non-alcoholic, but if you’re out here having a good time, hey, get whatever you want. Here she is now. And we had to get her her very own hugger repellent. Yay. Hi. Of course. All car girls need it. I’m so excited. Do you have any coconut water? Trying to stay hydrated out here. I’m showing the girls how to hit the driving range by themselves. And don’t forget to leave her a good tip. She’s out here working very hard. So, as a girl on the golf course, I’m always gravitating towards other females on the course, which is how I met my golf instructor, Tiger Lily. So, we’re going to go meet her now. That’s another way to get comfortable with golf. Get an instructor. Hi. How are you? Good. Nice to see you. You, too. You got some lessons going on today? Yes. Yes. I have all day in this nice hot weather. It feels good. Yeah. I need to schedule some more with you because I’m, as you can see, things are falling apart. Getting better, but it takes time. Yeah. And I’m here Tuesday through Saturday teaching all day. If you’re available, I’m here. Yes. And she’s the best of the best. So, and I really enjoy learning from another female because you know, you know about stuff like and look, she makes it so fun with all of her accessories. Look at her cart. We got to talk about the cart. So, come check it out for yourself and get a lesson with Tiger Lily. Thank you. Okay, girls. Now, the moment we’ve been waiting for, our favorite club, the driver. I think it’s my favorite because it’s just fun to like blast it, which you don’t have to blast it. Okay, let the club do the work for you. She’s over there like, I told her that for the driver, I’m going to grab a tea. And look how cute these ones are. They just happen to match our outfit today. I totally didn’t plan that. So, okay. See the stripes on it? I thought this was just like a cute design, but I learned that the stripes are the height as well, like how far you want to have it in the ground so that you can stay consistent and you don’t have to like check if it’s high enough. You just know that looks good to me. This is a wider stance. [Music] Woo! [Music] Oh yeah, we’re hitting them good today. I might have to go be in a tournament. [Music] It’s okay if you stumble a little. A few more tips that I have if you want to kind of just zone out everyone is you can put your headphones in, play your music, listen to a podcast, watch a golf tutorial, and that will kind of help just with any distractions and get you in your own zone. Block out the outside noise and remember, don’t be embarrassed. Half the people here don’t know what the hell they’re doing. So, hopefully this has shed some light on your jitters for the driving range. You just got to come out here. If you need help, just ask for help. I mean, no one’s going to be mad at you. I promise. And maybe you’re coming out here to socialize, maybe find a golfer for yourself. The more helpless you look, the better, I guess. I don’t know. No, no, no. I’m just kidding. Just ask for help. It can’t hurt. Well, girls, after hitting all those balls, I have worked up an appetite. Golf clubs have their own little restaurant inside or, you know, something that you can eat. So, I have worked up an appetite after all that hard work that I did. We are going to head over to the clubhouse and get a little something to eat. Thank you so much for watching. Don’t forget to like, comment, share, subscribe, do all the things you’re supposed to do. I’ll keep doing my thing. And don’t be scared of the driving range.
