A driving range is an area where golfers can practice their swing. They are typically run by businesses or sometimes by universities [1]. Distances are usually marked by target greens at regular distances. Golfers pay for large bucket of balls (30-70 balls) and hit at their leisure. Often there are golf professionals available to give lessons and instruction. Balls are retrieved by a specialty cart with a brush and roller attachment that automatically picks up balls and a cage that protects the driver from incoming balls. In urban and suburban areas, large nets protect surrounding people and structures from errant balls. Driving ranges are particularly popular in Japan where golf courses are overcrowded and often very expensive. Many commercial driving ranges are seen in conjunction with other sports related practice areas such as batting cages, miniature golf.

There really is no way to practice driving a tee shot or chipping unless one pays to play golf or pays to practice at a drivingrange or indoor golf training facility.
NHTSA was required to establish two minimum drivingranges, one for ``dual energy'' (alcohol/gasoline or diesel fuel) passenger automobiles when operating on alcohol, and the other for ``natural gas dual energy'' (natural gas/gasoline or diesel fuel) passenger automobiles when operating on natural gas.
The AMFA and its legislative history made it clear that the drivingranges were to be low enough to encourage the production of dual fuel passenger automobiles, yet not so low that motorists would be discouraged by a low drivingrange from actually fueling their vehicles with the alternative fuels.
From the viewpoint of the consumer, the necessary drivingrange may be dictated by the convenience of a range that corresponds to a typical workweek travel distance, or a daily travel distance for a fleet car.
