That's a very good point!

I once found that out the hard way by sending a 7-iron head far out into the driving range and then had to get them to stop everyone from hitting while one of their guys drove out to fetch it for me.
They wouldn't let me go get it myself (I guess for insurance reasons) and it took quite a while to explain to this guy where I thought it was (a 7-iron head is real small when it's in the middle of a driving range) and I'm sure the other people at the range were none too pleased with having to wait for all of this to happen.
