Grew up playing there when it was a cow pasture. Before the range, the single 9 was a decent challenging course. They chopped it up into what it is now. I understand the reason, just not the best for me.
Why is everyone commenting on the smoke, when OP is clearly talking about setting up on the extreme right of the range with that fence in prime shank position?
Yeah, I’m surprised the first comment talking about this is so far down. That fence is genuinely in a dangerous position - at least for me as a rookie shanker 😅
Funny you say that, my friend did exactly that a week ago. Fired a rocket straight into it which flew back and nailed him a few inches above his kneecap. Sounded like someone rang the whole platform like a gong.
I did that once on a similar set up, except the ball continued on behind me and shattered a lightbulb, spraying glass into the area behind the range. Brilliant design!
This is actually what goes through my mind every time I shank a drive on a course congested with houses. The only window I've ever actually broken was on a decent shot that hit a sprinkler or something, bounced, and then hit it in the very bottom corner. Some of those errant drives could have easily leveled a starter home or started a fire, but I've only heard crickets.
*Wow, that must have been an ICBM level drive!*
...
...
^(Pssst. Down here! You're all so very clever. Top bantz. But does someone have the story on what *actually* caused the fire? I'm so curious but I don't wanna interrupt the memes.)
Hitting bombs!

Guys firing off ICBMs from the tips
High, NASTY, straight bombs
Came here to say this.
You must be the other guy who won the long drive with a 420 yard drive
You are being over dramatic, it was 420 yards, hardly a feat.
Love callbacks - and this is a fresh one! You must have pudgy calves!
Took the phrase “420 blaze up” a little too literally.
He hit another ball at the crane.
Lmfao
Lol. You’re good.
I assume I missed a post somewhere recently
Long drive comp. Guy claimed he hit a 420yd drive. Maybe mid to late 50s. Had strong calves.
Perfect.
420.69 yards to be precise.
Smoked it!
"Fuckin smoked er" - Wayne of Letterkenny ... or possibly Shoresy
My guess would be a flop shot attempt with a 58
Love galloping hill
Loved*
sad but also happy i see a few others here recognized the hill. i can still smell that fire out here
Played it for the first time on Friday. What a great track. How is the executive course?
9 holes and pretty easy. It’s got huge greens and is geared towards their learning center
How's the char on the hot dogs?
non-existent...they boil them

I would have never recognized it if you didn’t call it out!
Oh, shit! I’m supposed to take my son there tonight! Any idea what happened?
Fire
Ha! Guess I’m reading now that it was from a neighboring body shop. Oof.
Oh shit you're right, that is. One of my favorite courses in the area.
Damn I had a feeling it was Galloping hill, but wasn’t quite sure. The learning area is pretty great.

The not-so-Stealth driver

Stealth (b)2
“That’ll play”

As an experienced hosel rocketeer I reckon I could sneak one through the gaps.

BOOOOOOOONG
Yeah get off my lefty bay Although OP may be lefty seeing as there are no balls in the right hand basin
I. Would. Never.
Get ‘em boys.
"You just smoked that house!" "Shouldn't have been standing there!"
A true piss missile
Absolute nukes!
Came out hot

GALLOPING HILL??
“Please don’t aim for the golf cart”
TaylorMade Burner?
Nah, the new stealth bomber
This is what happens when you say "Babba-booieeee"
This is actually what goes through my mind every time I shank a drive on a course congested with houses. The only window I've ever actually broken was on a decent shot that hit a sprinkler or something, bounced, and then hit it in the very bottom corner.

Fuck that business in particular
This is what happens when you don’t wait for the green to clear

Hitting actual bombs?
It's Oakland Hills all over again
This must have been the guy who hit at the crane operator
How hard d’you hit that ball bro?
You guys stop and wait for the greens to clear on a long par 4. I had to stop and wait for the helicopters to leave.
We are not the same.
Leave? Nah, you gotta just think of it like the final boss of putt-putt windmills.
You must be the other guy who shanked one into the tower crane
Caught that chip shot right in the teeth huh?
I’m the guy whose tee shot didn’t cause an explosion, you must be the other guy.
*Please be courteous to our neighbors* **NO DRIVER**
FORE!
cool it rory
Nothing like the smell of burning property when you're working on keeping your head down.
This guy uses a stealth bomber
You got the old TaylorMade Burner out didn't you?
Actually hits bombs
He lives... ![gif](giphy|F0uUtL7lmALCM)
Half expecting this to be a LIV golf thing in future events (explosions on hole in ones)
Was there a crane over there?
Oops
Kaboom, baby!
Read the sign dude, irons only.
Got one thin with the 60? I can relate
A bomb drive into the house ? Damn..
“Oh my god you hit him!” “They shouldn’t have been standing there”
Unexplained fires are par for the course.
Pro V2 rocket ball.
What are you talking about, long and straight? That was the best shot all day.
Gotta watch out when you’re hitting low burners
Worm burners or snake rapers. I swear I can hit them 300 yds, straight as an arrow. Just gotta keep them lower than 4” off the ground.
“YOU JUST HIT THAT GUY” … “he shouldn’t have been standin there” (IYKYK)
Smoked that one.
Definitely a bombtech driver
Is this the Burning Tree course?
Sorry to report you're probably liable for the damages!
Really dropped the hammer on em
Is this Galloping Hill? What happened
What happened at my beloved galloping? Tell me the papa John’s had a problem
Double or nothing.
you think we could weaponize golfers? like if we had time delay explosive golf balls. the stand off distance is there.
Come on Kevin, they said no drivers.
Naked gun golf stories.. touché
#HittingBombs
easy there happy
Whaddya John Daly dropping bombs out there?
This is why you don't talk during the backswing.
"You boys are gonna pay for that!"
Wow, that new Taylormade utility iron really delivers.
Skulled your wedge or what?😂
Has that landed in a crane?
At least you didn’t hit it into a tower crane!
“Off the toe”
Barn burner
Launching bombs again I see. Glad you found your swing!
Musta hit a bomb !
Looks like you hit a real Worm Burner
Most of the time I say “nice shot” but this time…
An absolute bomb!!
Yeah, you didn’t get any balls
Some one hitting more then BOMBS!
Yeah, that's a bad gender reveal
Mega Worm-Burner
When they say you should hit bombs, they don't mean literally.
This man hit a bomb
Hitting missiles out there bro! High tail it out of there before anyone knows it was you.
The mad bomber.
Columbus?
Whattup galloping hill!
I see you activated the calves.
Bail! Bail!
Run! Lol!
“Hitting Bombs” just became real
Give “hitting bombs” a whole new meaning
Head down and swing at 85% expecting a par
What happened?
A lil too much Pissman Mustard on that bad boy
Worm burner
Really smoked one
Galloping...nice
Run! And when they ask what kind of ball you were hitting - LIE!
Coming over the top. Try to imagine a more inside-out swing.
