  I know this has been brought up numerous times before, but since nothing has come of it as of yet, I though it was time to readdress this long overlooked feature.  We really need to have a practice putting, chipping and pitching green to hone our skills.  Every real golf course has this as a matter of course, so why not here???  Also, since it is only for practice, shouldn't this be a free feature., with no charge for use and no hit counted against the players ball???

  I know this may be asking a lot, but if wgt would give us this much needed and repeatedly asked for feature, it would sure be appreciated many and sure go a long way toward assuring members of wgt's good intent!!!

  With the Mulligan feature that was introduced, this is not a high priority.  You can practice your putts, pitches, chips, or any other shot in any stroke play practice round.  This also gives you a better way of trying out different shots from different course conditions.

  Shoe maybe WGT should place this in the FAQs

   " We offer the mulligans in place of Driving Range and Practice Putting Green" on any Stroke play course in practice mode only. The mulligans also count toward ball durability."

   

  Just a suggestion.

  Shoe - What are the prospects, then, of getting the ability to change equipment at will in practice only? Allow us to use different ball and club combinations for the same shot if we are using the mulligan feature.

  As long as we have to get out of the game and come back in, the way we must do it now, we can't duplicate the exact same shot for the purpose of testing equipment.

  Probably not good any time soon I am sorry to say.  Have not ever heard this type of feature discussed.
