I hit more golf balls in the last 36 hours than I ever have in my whole life. This is the Lotte Kasai golf driving range, where I went totally nuts with the 3 wood in my mom's golf bag. Now I have bleeding callouses on both hands, but it was so worth it. So much better than that crappy ghost-infested driving range in Colma, CA. And here's why:
- Japanese driving ranges are usually 3 stories high. I was on the second floor so balls were flying out from above and below me.
- They're fully automated. Details, pic, and video after the jump.
The computee machine sorts and dispatches the golf balls to each station.
The tee--height adjustable by up/down buttons like the ones you find on a StairMaster--automatically comes out of the astroturf with a new ball after each hit. (The guy in the video has terrible form.)
My friend Peter would love this. He wants to be a pro-golfer.
