Either way, true beginners, just need to beat balls on the range. With all clubs. Once you get good enough to be out on a course and actually wanting to improve your score, you absolutely do that around the green.

Drivers used to be the hardest club in the bag to hit, but driver technology has gotten so advanced it's essentially the easiest club to hit now. If you spend most of your practice time hitting a driver, you're doing it wrong.
