    I really like the Putting Challenge.  I think it serves two much needed purposes.

    One, for the less experienced, who need practice putting, it allows them to do just that, and in a fun, competitive way.  I think it eliminates any need for a putting green.

    Two, once we've played it a few times, it gives more experienced players a nice, pretty mindless warm-up.  I love being able to get my clicking fingers zoned in, without having to do any calculations.

    That being said, I don't think we need many of them.  Maybe one more, but without a make it or miss by 10 feet 1st hole.

    I would, however, love to see more challenges for other specific skills.

    A Chipping Challenge, with true, just off the green chip shots with good, fair, and bad lies.

    A Pitching Challenge, for pitches, flops, and short punches, from good and fair lies around the green, but not close enough to chip.

    A Short Hazard Challenge, bunker and medium/heavy rough shots from around the green.

    A Long/Fairway Hazard Challenge, with sand, medium/heavy rough, fescue, wood chips, etc. shots.

    An Approach Challenge, iron and full wedge shots from the fairway and light rough.

    And maybe a Wood Challenge, tee shots from long/Legend tee par 3s and short/Master tee par 4s, and par 5/long par 4 fairway/light rough approaches.

    And have them available to CCs, and as regular ranked and practice rounds, where the user can set the conditions, as well as WGT tourneys.

    Once again, I think these would provide great practice for those who need it, and a great way to warm up for others.

    I am glad you like the challenge. We really like it as well. 

    Other idea sare very interesting too, but I think cttp games we have already may offer most of what you are looking for. Give them a shot:)

    I have, but they're too varied, if you're having trouble with a particular type shot.

    If I picked out just one to learn, however, it might work for my mindless warm-up.

    Thanks for the suggestion, though, Icon.
