  Well, you are certainly the 1st to suggest it.

  Driving Range would be an outstanding extra, would give you a chance to test out clubs and different shots with the equipment that you have to see how the shots react.

  It's been #1 on the suggestion list since 2009. I typed the words "driving range" into the search box and it resulted in 154 pages of results.

  A driving range with adjustable wind conditions would be a money maker for WGT. For a player to practice woods and irons they would have to use their own golf balls unless they regularly use the starter balls. Any effect on spin, distance or the meter means that almost all driving range practice will result in golf ball sales.

  For years WGT has refused to give the customers what they want when it comes to a driving range and putting green..

  The guys a walking, talking fool, just play Alt with him...He in his infinite wisdom decides to test his meter out in an alt game on 'Oly' , by using starter clubs and balls..ok you'd think ,can still get round with them but NO ...He loads friggin EZ irons..and has to take a 3w on every long shot ,including the par 3s.

  All this with only time for ONE full good game before the downtime...Jeez...Andy

  You can test clubs before you buy already by renting, and playing. It  would be cool though if your rental fee was applied towards the purchase if you bought it within the rental period.

   

  But just as the topic of this post,  this has been brought up just a few times.  ;-)
