It would be nice to have a driving range to practice all your clubs vs different wind; putting facing different patterns; Bunker; Rough....
At the same time I am sure the programmers are working at standardizing the wind effect as it is not consistent; same for the green grooves; and some bunker shots
Those 2 together would make the game more exciting
Yes, a practice range, where the balls one hits REMAINS in view, where one can gather info on each of the clubs we pay you money to own.
A putting green and a sand bunker would be nice too. Hell, even the worst golf course has these things.
I've been reading that a practice facility is in the works but it seems they've been talking about it for over a year.
What' is the latest status of this? It's needed bad -- especially for new players like me. There is really no way to practice driving for example except once every hole. Hard to learn a lot like that.
HERE'S
50 some pages on the topic. It's best to just play the courses available. ;-)
A driving range with the option to try out and demo the virtual clubs that are in the pro shop before you buy them.
