Aimed-for destinations on a driving range, typically marked by flags, distance markers, or other indicators, provide golfers with specific points to focus on during practice. These designated points can range from simple distance markers to elaborate greens and fairways designed to simulate on-course scenarios. Examples include flagsticks, colored markers, and even nets or simulated bunkers.
Practicing with designated aiming points allows for the development of accuracy and distance control. By providing clear objectives, these aiming points enable golfers to refine their swing mechanics, club selection, and ball striking consistency. Historically, driving ranges were simpler, often just open fields. The evolution to incorporating specific aiming points reflects a growing understanding of effective practice techniques and the importance of simulating real-world playing conditions.
