No "Time Limit" Option (Practice Mode Only)

  How about it. Whenever I'm playing with someone trying to help them improve on their game, 90 seconds isn't really enough time to help and explain why they would make that shot. Could you add a unlimited time limit option for multiplayer in Practice Mode only?

  Great Idea. I am happy to play with any player and if I can assist them I always do, or alternatively they can give me advice.

  yeah, good idea .. set your own time limit

  personally, i would also like to have the option of setting tees & wind in single hole play under "WGT Community - Golf Courses" .. throw the Mulligan option in there also .. perfect

  If you're in Practice mode helping somebody then the score is ostensibly immaterial. That 90 second timer just represents a nuisance in that case. Good idea but don't hold your breath waiting for it.  ;-)

  +1 unlimited time option

  +1 single hole settings

  +1 Mulligans

  +1 practice area...

  Alas, the company has denied all this multiple times, the semi-official reason "no support to lower scores further" easily translating to "no effective practice to reduce ball use (& sale)".
  It's a business, you know...

  And, Buggyyy, you need not explain the whole of WGT during one shot ;)

  And how much does it cost for a coach to play one round with you to show you were you can improve?

  Since becoming Master I have to learn new layups and other criteria to play now, which is nerve racking at times since it's already ingrained in my memory were to put each shot from tee to green.

  Merry Christmas!

  The cost is simply asking. Anybody that wants to sell advice isn't somebody that you really want anyway. The best players here have never asked for anything (that I know of) to share their experience.  ;-)

  Sorry, I was making lite of this topic with a joke and should have add....lol

  I myself have had a hard time playing Legends from Amateur up to Tour Pro. And have been told in the community that "They will not give away their secrets" or "Most Legends do not play with players below their tier". I have even come across a friend here who made Legend and I played her one time when she finally accepted my invitation. I wanted it to be a friendly game among friends. But after a couple of bad shots on her account she quickly stated she had to go ( Beginning of hole #2) and logged off before I could even say good bye. So I have not really tried to get any help from anyone above since then. Just left me with a bad experience. I myself have helped friends who were below me in tier even with gifts of better clubs. I just wish we could all come together as a virtual family sharing golf as our main interest and help one another. It sure would be a lot more enjoyable to play on here and less arguments in the forums. 

  God Bless & Merry Christmas!

  Joe
