Abstract
It is an objective of the present invention to provide systems, devices, and/or methods allowing for the faster, easier determination of the carry distance for golf balls hit with golf clubs, the automatic return of range golf balls for reuse, containment nets that don't touch or get close to supports or poles, range field surfaces that don't use artificial or natural grass or need water, and instead use soft, rubbery, polymer, or other synthetic (recyclable) materials for range field surfaces to permanently eliminate the need to use water, chemicals, workers, ball-pick-up-equipment, carts/tractors (fuel), machinery, or do any maintenance on range field surfaces at golf driving ranges.
