  Hey how about a vertual driving range with targets and distance flags? Then there could be demo days to try out the diferent equipment to have a chance to see the difference before buying. Maybe even putting serface to practice putting and try out different putters as well? Just a thought.

  I think the idea of a virtual driving range is wonderful. If only for practicing shots, the player could go here having picked up a new set of irons, and practice his or her timing, precision, and accuracy. Perhaps the player could even select his or her wind conditions while in the range so that variable wind conditions could be experienced. Good idea.

  the Demo days idea sounds cool...allowing players to try out clubs and seeing how much better they are...good sales pitch!!!

  I was thinking the same idea.  A player could pay like 1 credit  for 100 shots and he/she can hit, that way they eliminate the possibility of people just going every hour to try clubs for fun.

  I would love to see a driving range. As the Masters on here keep saying, "Practice practice practice" It's kinda hard to get the timing on your driver when you can only hit one shot and then have to switch up to otehrs on the course. Plus, with new balls, and clubs.... it is all about timing. It frustrates the heck out of me to have to feel like a hack again just because I want to upgrade to a better club. 

  I driving range should be a priority in my opinion. More would play more often.

  I totally agree.  I just bought the R9 and i can't hit a fiarway to save my life. I shot a 41 in the practice round, partly due to the new tier and partly due to the speed change.

  I would love to see a range in the near future.

  Both are great ideas for all the reasons listed above.

  I wouldnt mind paying 10 credits to hit a bucket of balls at the range. Think  it would be a good tool for new and not so new players.
