If you're determined to avoid shelling out coin at the local range here are some suggestions. Get yourself a square of carpet/fake grass. The size is up to you. Find a new construction project/development going in. Plop down the square of fake grass and hit the balls off of that. Use a freshly cleared piece of land as your target/landing area. The balls will land soft and you'll find them all, unless you're a duffer/dew dragger. Watch those worm burners and hosel rockets until they quit rolling or you'll lose them. Or go to the driving range instead.
