u/Vierings

I'm looking for an inexpensive driving range, and possibly some good bang for the buck lessons. I've searched a bit, but a lot of what I am finding seems like it could be dated info.

I'm a new golfer, played 4 18s and a 9 hole back out in Washington state. I live right by Hedingham and am not sure if I should go there or what better options I have. I don't care about electronic tracing. I have historically had a horrendous slice with my driver (like over the houses next to the course) that I finally had started making some progress on before moving. I do find myself in Cary and Chapel Hill once a week or so each.

I've got two annual golf rounds coming up soon and I'd like to check in and hit some balls so I am not totally cold

What suggestions do you have for dog friendly activities in this heat? We have to be out of the house for about 4 hours.

I'm window shopping for a new/used car and I keep coming back to the Maverick, but I think its just cause I think I want it and am trying to justify it.

$35k USD before any incentives/taxes

New or still under factory warranty

35MPG or better

4 adults at 5'10+

Decent cargo space

A 6.5 ft bed (tailgate down is acceptable) would be a huge bonus. This is the one that makes the Maverick hybrid appeal most.

No full ev, possibly open to plug in hybrid .

Currently have an element and an 18 passat and looking to go one car plus motorcycle
