   I think that another option would be to have the ability to replay a shot during the practice rounds.  Something to let you see the results of trying different clubs and shots from the same situation and lie.  Just a thought.

   And we know we have a good thing that will be better.

  I have to agree with the putting green.  That is the weakest part of my game.  Also a chipping area.  Drive for show, putt for dough!!!

   Can all the posters agree we need a diverse practice area?

   Hi,

  Yeh would like to see a driving range / practice green also. However, heres something anyone can try for putting practice.

  Go into practice mode and when you get on the green putt as you normally would. If you're to close to the pin in the first case just aim your putt wide of the hole and hit your putt out to 10, 20, 30 ft away - or whatever. Then have a shot at the putt. If you miss the putt do the same again, aim wide or hit the putt way to hard and put yourself a nice distance away from the hole again - just keep trying that. If you sink the putt move to the next hole and do the same.

  Your score will be well over par but its in practice mode and your stats wont count. Its certainly well worth the effort because its in the putting that the games won.

  Happy putting

  Cheers

  Doug

  practice area, practice green, practice bunker - gimme gimme gimme!

  As a (former) low single figure handicap player the big difference between 10 handicap and getting down to 1.6 was the time I spent on the practice range - all 10 handicappers can hit the ball ok, the difference is getting up and down from 40 yards. The WGT is no different and hence off the course facilities would be bob on!

  How about just have simple mulligan click, just like simulated golf have available.

  Yes, a mulligan feature during practice rounds would be great.  That way you could try different shots with different clubs and see what happens.
