Golf driving range system

A golf driving range system for golfers to practice their driving skills, the system comprising:

• a plurality of tee boxes, each tee box having a renewable ball stock and an automatic golf ball tee-up machine, the balls in said ball stock having identifying characteristics for relating the balls to a particular tee box;
• a yard and ball return gutters, said yard having sloped surfaces to cause any golf balls landing on said surfaces to roll toward said ball return gutters;
• at least one target in said yard, said target having a winning ball identification apparatus for sensing the identifying characteristics of a ball hitting the target and relaying this information to a scoring device;
• and a ball distribution apparatus operably connected to said ball return gutters, said ball distribution apparatus having a return ball identification apparatus for sensing the identifying characteristics of a ball and distributing the ball back to said renewable ball stocks of said tee boxes, wherein the identifying characteristics for the golf balls includes the presence or absence of magnetism, and said winning and return ball identification apparatuses include a magnetism sensor.
