as a new golfer it is advisable to practice at the driving range because it will help you become confident about your swing some ranges have mats to hit off and others have grass mats are not as challenging as grass if your practice ranges on grass take your shots in a straight line rather than all over the place as it's better for the next golfer's turn don't tip out the whole bucket of balls remove the number of balls that you intend to hit it is considered good manners to leave any unused balls in the bucket for another golfer golf balls and clubs can be dangerous so do be mindful of where you are aiming especially if the range picker is out and be careful that nobody is walking near you as you take that backward swing you may like to practice listening to music but use earphones not everyone will enjoy your music and some golfers prefer silence to practice
