Hi, I've been playing golf since February this year, and I was just wondering if there was a difference in the distance you can drive on driving ranges and on the course. I've read that driving range balls are of a different density or something or rather. So, should I be hitting further on the golf course than on the driving range?

Also, I just got into golf because my uncle left some of his old clubs behind at my place. They're about 10 years old or more and I was just wondering if I should invest in some new golf clubs? Will it make much difference?
