A golf practice range or driving range as they are more com- monly known,.: is a place where golfers can come to and rent a basket of golf balls, usually in quantities k 25, 50, or 75 per basket, take them to a tee box or hitting area and hit them toward a land- ing area. In my case this landing area is adjacent to Ami's Acres Campground and to the west. All ranges I have been to have yardage signs posted down the middle of the landing area at intervals of 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 275 yards. I intend to have them also. The golfers hit the balls toward these signs. They would use a club called a wedge to hit toward the 50 yard sign, a seven or eight iron for the 150 yard sign and a 1,2, or 3 wood toward the 250 yard sign. By practicing these kind of shots a golfer can improve his game and as they say "groove" his swing. Virtually all professional golfers need and often use these ranges and must do so if they are to remain competitive. Glenwood has a lot of golfers per capita and all want a range to use. I have even known people who don't play golf per-se, who enjoy going to a range now and then. The range I am proposing is a simple one. Basically I need to improve the road to the range by widel.ng the road as it leaves the paved part to two lane, construct a parking lot for say 15 cars, construct a tee box and practice put- ting-chiping green, build a foot-path from the parking lot to the tee-box. Near the tee-box area I will distribute balls from a pickup truck. If the range proves to be a success then I would like to erect a small shed or building, say 8foot by 10 foot , to serve as a permanent ball distrubtion center. In this case I should have some lighting around the building for security reasons. The ball landing area has to be top-graded, flattened and seed- ed this fall if I am to be able to open the range early next spring, which is what I want to do. The ball landing area has to be flat for two reasons. First- the machine I will use to pick up the balls won't work on uneven ground and second- I need to be able mow the grass close to the ground. Also along the south side of the ball landing area I intend to install ball barrier netting on power poles. I would also need to install some lighting on some if not all of these poles to discourage the theft of balls at night. I don't intend to have this range open at night the first year. Only if it is a hue success would I consider operating it at night, possibly from dark to 10:30 pm. I would like to recieve approval for some type of non-offensive lighting but I really doubt that I will ever install or use it. I intend to operate this range myself, with possibly one employe, The hours of operation will be from lam to dark every day. The way it appears to me at this time, is that it is going to be a sixteen hour a day job. I will have to irrigate the ball landing area once every eight hours, pick up the balls, mow the tee-box, putting green, and ball landing area, distribute the balls to the golfers, give golfing lessons, perform all maintenance tasks and oversee security. It is a large undertaking but I am prepared to give it a try. Any specific questions you have remaining can and will be answered at the public hearing on August 18, 1986.
