Floating Range

One unique assert we have at our practice facility is a floating driving range.

Flight restricted floating golf balls are hit out into open water, the wind blows them to the shoreline, and then balls are picked up by hand with fishing nets.

When we have a stretch of wintry weather like we did the last month it makes for a very unique situation as the balls stay on the ice until it warms up and melts.

Overall this is not issue, but it does pose a couple problems with inventory of balls during long frozen stretches like we had the last month.  It also leads to some very "long" shots as the ball keeps bouncing with a very unique echo sound as the ball hits the ice.
