Golf Practice At MOS Driving Range & Golf Academy

Posted on by Hani by

I tried something totally new today—and it was a blast! I decided to give golf a shot, and after some quick online research, I found the perfect spot to practice: MOS Driving Range & Academy. Since it’s only about 20 minutes away from my place, I figured, why not? And let me tell you—it did not disappoint!

As a complete beginner, I’ll admit I was a little nervous at first. Would I even be able to hit the ball? Would I accidentally launch the club instead? (Spoiler: I did not, but the thought crossed my mind more than once.) However, the moment I stepped onto the range and took my first swing, I realized something surprising—golf is incredibly therapeutic. With each shot, I could literally feel my stress melting away, and before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in the game.

Thankfully, the instructors at MOS Driving Range & Academy were super patient and helpful. My instructor guided me through the basics—stance, grip, and swing—without making me feel like a total newbie. In just one session, I picked up so much more than I expected. Turns out, there’s a lot more technique to golf than just hitting the ball as hard as you can. 😂

What You Need to Know Before You Go

After spending about 2 hours practising, I made a mental note of some key takeaways that might help fellow beginners:

 

✅ Affordability:

  • 100 balls cost RM12.00—pretty budget-friendly compared to other ranges I found online.
  • The golf club rental is RM5.00, but fair warning—it’s an older club. If it breaks, you’ll have to pay RM150.00 for the repair (so, maybe don’t channel your inner Happy Gilmore just yet).
  • They offer prepaid ball packages: 1,000 balls for RM110.00 or 2,000 balls for RM190.00. The minimum request is 50 balls.

 

✅ Tips for Beginners:

  • If you’re new, use club No. 9—trust me, my instructor said it’s the best one to start with.
  • They don’t provide free instructors, but you can find Param (his academy is just next to the MOS Driving Range). Or, just ask any friendly golfer around; chances are, they’d be happy to help.

 

✅ The Driving Range Experience:

  • It’s not fancy, but definitely good enough for daily practice.
  • The carpet is a little worn out, but still okay to use.
  • The place is open from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM—so you can practice even after work or class.
  • Parking is easy, and it’s not too crowded, which is a big plus.
  • You can share the balls with friends, so it’s a fun group activity!

 

 

I was afraid of embarrassing myself by accidentally throwing the golf club. Before I left, I told Nat about my fear of accidentally throwing the club, and he gave me the most helpful advice:

“The best way to do that is to throw it on purpose.”😂

He added, “As long as you don’t fall over trying to hit the ball, you’ll be fine.”

Well, thanks for the pep talk, Nat. Super helpful. 😆

Honestly, I had been talking about playing golf all week, and I’m so glad I finally went for it. It’s so much more fun than I expected, and I’m proud of myself for trying something new! Here’s a little clip of my first trial before my instructor came in to show me the real technique. (Spoiler: It wasn’t pretty, but hey, everyone starts somewhere!)

Final Thoughts: Just Go for It!

If you’ve been thinking about trying golf but felt intimidated—don’t be. Just go for it! Whether you’re serious about improving your game or just want to have fun with friends, it’s a great way to unwind and challenge yourself. Plus, you never know—you might just find yourself falling in love with the sport. I know I did. 😊

 

Until next time!

X, Hani ❤️
