While driving ranges typically provide flat surfaces for practice, course conditions often require adjustments to standard swing techniques.

The discussion focuses on navigating side-hill lies that differ from the consistency of a flat range box. Golfers must modify their setups to maintain control when the ground surface is not level. These practical adjustments are intended to assist players in translating range practice to the actual demands of a golf course.
