he Moore Park Golf Driving Range offers the convenience of being located near the CBD with the added advantage of being encircled by the impressive Centennial Parklands and City Skyline views. The distant hum of traffic and the rhythmic shwack! shwack! shwack! of balls being sent soaring simultaneously into the air can be a wonderfully hypnotic experience.
The driving range is typically used as either a warm up to a game or simply a fun activity within itself. There are three tiers, offering a total of sixty weather protected bays to tee off from. It is open seven days and provides night lighting for evening sessions. You can hire balls, a driver or an iron or bring your own clubs. Markers of 50, 100 and 200 meters are located as a guide and there are some round black nets that look like mini trampolines as fun targets to aim for.
It feels oddly humiliating missing a shot entirely or hearing the dreaded schlopp of the rubber tee being struck and watching the ball plop onto the faux grass at your feet instead of watching it elegantly sweep across the range. Persistence is the key. You are given a generous amount of balls to play with so you will inevitably hit a winner - therefore restoring your dignity in no time.
Every golfer knows the incomparable exhilaration of hitting a triumphant shot. This is one of the allures that draw them back like a magnet. Swinging a club may look physically undemanding yet you're bound a break a light and significantly satisfying sweat.
