I miss the days when Stanford GC provided (the public) a grass tee driving range.

I was surprised they didn't convert the old varsity hitting area and charge a premium for hitting off the grass. My local range (Mariners Point, Foster City) charges $5 extra to hit off the grass and it's always busy over there.

Personally I don't see much value in it. 95%+ of golfers don't have a good enough swing where it will make a difference, including me.
