@AndrewC992, Thanks for leaving a message at my talk. I wanted to ask; as I have been adding images to this page, I seen these are Quality image at Commons:

• File:Riverwalk Golf Club Driving range.jpg
• File:Golfplatz Löffelsterz, Driving Range von Süden.jpg
• File:Golfplatz Löffelsterz, Blick über Bahn 1 zum Driving Range (2).jpg
• File:Golfplatz Löffelsterz, Driving Range von Südwesten (1).jpg. I picked the riverwalk one however, is there a better file to use?

I wasn't too fond of the quality, the images above have been assessed at Commons for being a Commons:Quality images Issac I Navarro (talk) 16:14, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Ah, yeah that's fair.

Well here's the one they used in Tokyo drift if you can get them up onto Commons😉 https://shibuya246.com/2011/01/16/golf-at-kasai/ AndrewC992 (talk) 16:24, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

yeah go with that one! AndrewC992 (talk) 20:34, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

@AndrewC992 I think File:Driving Range, A Coruña, Spain. (cropped).jpg is decent, however the images above are already deemed as quality. What image do you prefer? Issac I Navarro (talk) 20:37, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Or is there a different file you found on Commons:Category:Driving ranges. - I have been trying to sort it out on Commons. Issac I Navarro (talk) 20:38, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

I'd go with the one you most recently sent, the one with higher resolution AndrewC992 (talk) 20:41, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

DYK nomination?

I'm considering nominating this article for Wikipedia:Did you know/Create new nomination after the page gets a bit more tidied up. I'd like to get other editor's thoughts on what might be the best way of cleaning this page up before it gets nominated. Issac I Navarro (talk) 20:47, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

According to Merriam-Webster and Oxford English Dictionary , the first written use of the English word driving range, dates back only to 1929. I seen at https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/how-to-use-the-dictionary under First Known Use, shows where they found it. However, I been looking for a source where they got this information, and I am not seeing much pop up on the web. Such information may be in books, yet I am not seeing much, I seen this https://www.golfhistoricalsociety.org/ghswordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Pico-Fairway-1929-Driving-Range.pdf talking about it in 29, yet that is all that I have found on the web. I am unsure if Merriam-Webster is good enough per WP:DICTS. Any thoughts? Issac I Navarro (talk) 05:35, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
