  Me and some friends are playing all day, every day, we had an discussion that it should be really cool to have the option "Practice" in the menu, and then you stand on the range and just swing and practice your aim, swing and put. Maybe this can be included in the next update? What do you guys think?

  Thank you for your suggestion. Many players over the years have requested this. I believe finding a way to properly implement it is the reason why we have not seen an addition like this.

  Just learn as you play. You haven't swung a club in anger yet.

  A driving range and putting green was the #1 suggestion for years on this site and WGT personnel absolutely refused to consider it. Realistically it has nothing to do with implementation; they just refused to provide what the customers wanted.

  You can create your own driving range by selecting the single hole option and picking hole 9 or 18 at St. Andrews. Both holes are very wide and you can use mulligans to hit from the tee to your hearts content. You can turn any green into a practice green by using mulligans there as well. It's not ideal as the use of mulligans with purchased balls is expensive, but if you're working on the things you say just use the free starter balls and you'll be able to practice at no cost to you.

  Thanks for your answer! 
  
  Yeah, well that sucks that they didn't like the idea from the start. 
  
  Yeah i know, but still. A complete option of a Practice Range would be awesome. Perhaps set up some targets, move some flags or something, still think it should be implemented. As if the app is a real golfclub. Practice, compete.
