Wedge Range
Mike Bender designed our Wedge Range to help his student Zach Johnson improve his wedge play before the 2007 season began. The range has four-foot by four-foot concrete slabs in the ground as targets at 10 yard increments from 30-100 yards. Zach went on to win the Masters that year and now Mike’s Wedge Range has been copied all over the world.
