Driving in the Rain

It must be noted that the year to date has seen an extremely favorable winter for southern New Jersey. The Atlantic City area has been blessed by the Golf Gods with relatively mild temperatures, just warm enough to play on a semi-regular basis. As it is mid-December at this point, and the temperatures are still in the 40-50 degree range, this has been a blessing indeed.

With an extreme shortage of time on my hands, and an unfortunately timed schedule, golf for the last couple of weeks has been an impossiblity. However, Olde Masters Driving Range, just down the street from our office, is open and sheltered (somewhat). With a little bit of time on my hands sporadically over the last couple of days, the driving range was an excellent choice (if the only choice at hand).

Rain has settled in to the area, and while a little cold doesn't bother me while golfing, a little cold with rain added, is a pretty uncomforatble situation. Olde Masters to the rescue. Their driving range is covered and actually has warmers/heaters overhead. The rain never touched the driving mats.

In addition, it was reasonably priced. $9 for a bucket of about 110 balls. That is certainly the most affordable price in the whole area. There was also a special deal that could be purchased: $25 for a $30 credit. A nice deal and significant savings.
