Plantation Golf club & Driving range

Plantation Golf club & Driving range

6月了，德州的天氣已經是夏天了，天天給它30幾度。手癢了就找個附近的球場來打。但實在很熱95度/35度的天氣，還是打打練習場。這個練習場開車只要10分左右，和之前Twin Creeks球場在一起。就在隔壁。所以對我來說格外方便。要打球隨時球袋背著就可以走。德州就是打高爾夫的天堂。我開車半個小時可以打的球場不下10個。

只是現在天氣太熱，非常討厭。雖然裝備的齊全，還是不要中暑，就到練習場爽一下。要不在室內的擊球網也可以解癢。到練習場大概11點左右，這個練習場座落在住宅區裡面，很幽靜，球場沒有招牌，如果沒來過，很容易會錯過。還好有看到練習場的打位和切球區，才不會開過頭。對了在德州的練習場沒有一個是有網子的，都是開放式。會所也像住家，太不起眼，但就是格外接地氣。太享受這種感覺了！

會所賣店買球後，到練習場打位直接開打。停車場和練習場都在一起，走兩步就放下球袋，超級方便。我喜歡這樣的設計。打位大概30個左右，也有擊球墊子，打鐵桿比較不會磨損。木桿就直接在草地上摧下去。這是我覺得最好的狀況。對於桿頭不會有太大磨損，也可以練在草地上直接打球道木和木桿。練得比較有實際效果。

球是和Twin Creeks一樣的Wilson練習球，也有夾雜Callaway的練習球。都是同一個採購團，球都一樣。還是覺得Wilson的練習球比較好打。雖然spin多一些、手感也比較舒服、友善。再去旁邊的切球區練切桿。感覺比較大一些。可以練60碼內的切球。非常好的距離設定，比較貼近實際狀況。練了30個左右，最後去推桿果嶺練一下。推桿果嶺在會所旁邊，稍微要走個幾步路但還是近。很方便，可以先把球袋放到車上，拿著桿子和球去推。

It's June and the wether is so hot in Plano. TX. The daytime is always over 90 degree and I barely go to the golf course to play and can't take the chance to get hot. Anyway, grab my bag to play in driving range which is acceptable to stay with golf and maintain the swing. This time I choose Plantation golf club in Frisco, with 10 minute driving. It's so close to my place.

This golf course is the same area with Twin Creeks golf course, but I prefer Plantation golf course more as it's in the living area and you barely pass by the golf course. The club house is like normal house and I see the driving range and chipping green to know this is the golf course I am looking for. If you are not familiar with this golf course, it's easy to pass.

There are about 30 hitting spots and the good thing is the parking linked with driving range, it's so convenient when you park and carry your bag for working couple minutes to play. The price is the same as Twin Creeks. The range ball is Wilson range which is softer and better control than other balls I have been playing in Texas. I think it's the same purchasing department for these two golf courses.

I like this driving range since there is the hitting mat to protect your iron head without scratching the sole area and face too much. Of course you can hit on the grass with your fairway wood and driver. It's good to practice the real situation in play without making your club heads wear too much. The next is to do my short game with chipping practice.

The chipping green is good and you can hit about 60 yards distance to the flag, it's very likely the true situation you face in your play. The grass is soft, easy to eat and chip. It can use high bounce wedge to play with good result. The Putting green is good as well, the green speed is about 8 with good speed to get your putting skills.

下集開始。

果嶺的質量也不錯，速度在8、9左右。也是不慢。很好推。維護的也不錯。現在在球場或練習場都看到一堆小孩和青少年在練球或參加暑假的夏令營/camp，看到教練在教學。或是虎爸帶小孩來練球，一臉嚴肅，孩子就愁雲慘霧的苦練。很多亞洲臉孔的虎爸虎子，一副要為美巡賽在提早準備，因為在美國運動好，一樣可以上名校。不少虎子都是從小栽培，軍事化訓練、照表操課。

很佩服一些孩子，他們是真的喜歡Golf，雖然整身汗，整個表情超認真，很用心的在練球，實在很感動！他們沒有父母在旁邊，就是不停在練球。比起一些虎爸在旁邊監工的孩子，一副怕被罵，打一球就回頭看虎爸有什麼指示，真的是天壤之別。

這裡的高爾夫環境實在沒話說，如果真的愛高爾夫，整天泡在高爾夫球場都可以。暑假還可以來打工（暑假旺季都會缺工），順便可以練球、打球。Junior打球應該也有折扣，這樣家長的負擔才小一點。對於這個練習場我個人比較喜歡。因為它比較平，視野雖然不寬廣，但是一個長方形，深度比較深。球的方向更容易看清楚。

而且今天球特別能飛，有比之前的飛行距離要遠個5到10碼距離。空氣的阻力小很多。濕氣比較小的關係。切球區和推桿區都很到位。球場的感覺非常友善，好像小時候去附近的雜貨店，幫老爸買菸一樣的感覺。練完快一個半鐘頭時間，不行太熱了，回去路上吃個熱狗和漢堡好了。

我應該會以這個球場為我的home course，練球環境太接地氣，而且超近。費用也差不多。整個感覺就好像你家旁邊的球場，背著球袋就可以隨時開打，太鄰家的氛圍！完全把高爾夫生活化，不是什麼高貴活動，這就是我要的球場和練習場。看來要找看看這邊附近有沒有房子可以住了。

Overall, this driving range is good for me and the feel is like your neighborhood. It's been your life with such golf course. The whole design is very friendly unlike other golf courses making like luxury sports. It's close to the summer and many kids are playing golf with the camp or parents. Some kids are working hard on the swing in such hot weather.

With that attitude, I think they are the best. If you do not like it, you won't play it under such weather. Texas is really a paradise for golf, you can find lots of golf courses easily with affordable cost to enjoy. The kids can have the discount to enjoy golfing. That's something other countries can not provide.

I would set this golf course and driving range as my home course since it's convenient, good design and great feeling. Perhaps the weekend is crowded but I prefer the play during the weekdays. You can really enjoy the play without harsh or bad feel. I will try other driving range to see more and shore to golfers.
