RANGEline helps course operators improve the playability and shotmaking of their practice ranges , without increasing maintenance costs .
Jones , inernational operations manager of ZLine . “ It is very costeffective – the cost of the product is roughly the same as sand – and over time it will produce an excellent return on investment . Ball picking from RANGEline is much easier than from a sand bunker , as the picking machine can drive over it . Even if the ‘ bunker ’ is inaccessible to the picker , it is far easier to rake up the balls than to pick them from sand – which has to be done by hand .”

RANGEline consists of sandcoloured synthetic material , which is installed on the range in lieu of bunkers . It is UV coated to ensure that the color can withstand sunlight exposure and seamlessly replicates the aesthetic value of sand bunkers on the range , giving golfers a powerful aiming tool , but it is essentially maintenance-free . The product was formerly known at SRL-16 , but has been redesigned to be thicker and denser , so it absorbs impacts better .
