Target practice


Every outdoor driving range I've been to has a machine driven around the grounds to collect the balls. In India labour is so cheap that buying such a machine apparently doesn't make a good business case.

The alternative is to hire men with buckets and for safety equip them with umbrellas. It must be over 40C where they're standing so I hope they also get water now and again.

It was pretty obvious that some of the Koreans practicing there were aiming at the ball collectors. I will admit to having tried to hit the collector machine once or twice for fun, but actually hitting one of these guys would just be so wrong.
