  Why can't you create a Driving range and putting green for just practice? I think this would help our game especially if we are changing club manufactures.

  I agree, a practice area would be great. However, I think the problem lies in hitting multiple shots without resetting video (just a guess). A good alternative would be to allow mulligans in practice rounds.

  The duck and I are in agreement here.  Would you like to know why I believe it will never happen?  Simple really...

  If WGT comes out with a "New", "Better" and "Longer" driver, we are all clamoring to buy it...  (well, most of 'you' are, I'm not buying anything til the meter gets sorted out.)

  If WGT had a test-drive area, where you could watch your intended-purchase in action, you would realize that it's just another POS and not want to buy it.

  That is my cynical opinion for today.

  Cheers

  At the levels of 60 and above.. The advantages of Putting from different greens would help us figure the breaks better.. especialy on putts of 12 feet or greater. All of the courses I have played have putting green and many have driving ranges.  

  Some flexibility would be nice during the praticeround  to select to retry the shot we just tried or jump to the next hole or any other hole on the course.

  I would concur, it's been brought up and ignored just like many other suggestions

  Ok heres the poor mans driving range. when i want to just test my driver. i drive then turn around and 3wood and wedge right back to the tee box( it goes right back onto a tee) and bingo...same drive with the same wind. I can get 3 drives with the same wind before shot limit reached pops up. same things with my irons...i just wedge past the tee boxes (works good on a hole with a long fairway) then i can test my iron shots with the same method. putting....get on the green and just practice putting with the breaks, dont sink the ball just keep putting back and forth learning the breaks. reset the game with different winds and green speeds and bingo.....new practice range
