hi wgticon, i too have always thought it would be great to hit a few drives, mid and short irons, and putts before starting a round, especially an impotant one. Yes every course has its unique challenges, but i think what jon, and certainly me is refering to is to practice - timing- . So much of my game hinges on how on or off my timing is. Now, if i want to practice with my driver before a tourney, and start a practice round, it would go somewhat like this, 1st tee i hit my driver, 3 shots later , im on 2nd tee but its a par 3, and the 3rd tee calls for a 3 wood. So possibly 20 shots or more later, i get to use my driver again.Even in best case , where i can use driver 1st four holes, still only get to hit driver 4 out of 16 strokes, and mind you i only started practice round to time my driver. We could apply this to any club or the putter. Point is you cant practice a paticular club, iron or putter during practice round. Which brings me to this idea... what if WGT provided us with a driving range and practice green, then charged lets say 1 credit per ball? In other words, i could perchase a bucket of 20 balls for 20 credits, or 10, or 35, etc..how ever many i chose to hit that day. I could hit all drives or putts, or anything in between. Also, WGT could give us an hourly rate on club rentals from the pro shop that we could then take to the range. I think 20 or 30 consecutive drives or putts would tell me alot about wether or not i care to keep courtin that particular club. Well, enough said, my finger is hurtin. I hope WGT will consider this, thank you, pete
