    Add a "mulligan" option anywhere, anytime, for solo practice rounds.  Done.

    WGT would sell so many freakin' balls it would get comical.

    So to clarify, could you present a situation where a player would want to use the "mulligan button"?

    WGTpizza- Solo practice round that does not count for average. Player hits an errant shot and wants to try it again. Or player wants to try different shots from the same situation (for example, flop, chip, punch, pitch from the same spot in a bunker). Program a Mulligan button so the player can hit the same shot again. Every shot still counts against the ball life so you'll be selling a ton of golf balls to willing customers who use the feature to learn and improve.

    In real life that is what the pros do during practice rounds before tournaments so putting such a feature in the game adds realism while increasing revenue for the company.

    Very interesting suggestion. I have made the WGT execs aware of it :)

    Maybe even implement 'driving Range" balls in the Pro shop just for this specific use. Could even be a little cheaper then your regular balls. How about having a bucket of Range balls (20-30 a bucket) that you can purchase in the Pro shop for say 15-20 credits.

    That way more people would not think twice about the cost for practice purposes.
