I’d guess a launch monitor is most efficient but they’ll generally be 12-15 yards gap between each once you find one or two of them.

FWIW I’m about to turn 50 and PW is 105y now just as it was when I was 35

If you are near a range with Top Tracer technology, that’d be a decent option

Are there any in Austin?

Before living aboard for 13 of last 14 years, I lived on the 9th hole at Lago Vista. The 8th is a par 5, I would just go over there at dusk and hit 100 or so balls into the green - that was when I had it dialed in.

Another complication is they use meters in Singapore/Indonesia/Australia, so I’m always doing math for distances.

Just get a range finder. I can’t remember the last time I cared what the course told me the distance was. What’s surprising is how frequently gps and even yardage markings were just plain wrong

Also, for the record, even I could hit a PW 150 yards into #9 at Lago!

And putter

Range finder helps at the driving range figuring out your clubs.

Avery Ranch, Teravista, Falconhead, Plum Creek (Kyle) per their website. I can confirm Plum Creek

It’s actually kinda fun. Works via an app on your phone. Will store data as well so you can look at it when you get home, etc

You can also go to the PGA Superstore at the Arbor Walk or Golf Galaxy. They have good simulators there and indoor to boot. Just "demo" a club - they've never really cared and I think they're just happy to talk shop mostly.

Agreed on this - GPS is real hit or miss when you're playing a hilly course like many in Austin.
