  I cant be the only one wishing there was some kind of practice area for putting. I know there has been discussions of a practice area and hitting targets and such...but isnt that what blitz is pretty much? It would be great to get a short game practice area...hitting out of green side bunkers, chipping from around the green and of course putting!

  It's been asked for hundreds of times along with a driving range.  Sadly no response from WGT as to why there isn't one yet or why there won't be one.  So take it away WGTsky

  I searched before posting and it looks like my question was asked a year and a half ago.

  So here is another request for a short game practice area to learn how chips, pitches and flops react.  A flat green would be best, for the truest results of air time to roll.  Enable mulligans to repeat shots over and over.  MS Links had this, why can't WGT?  I know we can practice on a hole, but it's time consuming and not very productive.

  Any plans in the works?  If it's about money, charge credits for use of the practice areas.  I'd be willing to pay 50 credits for 50 shots.

  no, it is not really about money. I think most feel you can practice on the green in practice mode. I can understand why some would ask for it but tend to agree with most, I would rather they focus on adding more courses. Maybe one day you guys will get your wish.

  Huh? Flat green? Why practice on a flat green???? Do we have very many flat greens? The best way to practice is to practice on the greens that you have trouble with. Too bad the single hole practice from the WGT community page doesn't allow us to practice with our tier green speeds. That would make it almost perfect.

  I posted a thread about  adding a practice selection for the C.T.T.H. courses. Right now we can only play in tourney mode , and every shot counts . It would at least let the players have a way too practice with their irons, and give us a way to play with rental irons as well .
