driving range (golf)
A practice facility where golfers hit balls into a netted or open field. In Japan, often multi-tiered, with stations along the edge of a city or suburb.
2.
exposed concrete; bare-concrete finish
A construction finish in which poured concrete is left visible rather than covered with paint, tile, or other cladding. Often associated with modernist architecture.
From the pattern verb+っぱなし ("leave Xed; do X and leave as-is"), built on 打つ (to hit; to pour). The two main senses come from two different referents of 打つ — hitting balls and pouring concrete.
