How about a virtual driving range?

  Think about it: 

  A Mulligan option would do the trick.

  You buy a 10/50/100  "mulligan pack" at the pro shop, and you are allowed to use it only when you are alone and in practice mode.

  That way you can putt the ball where you want, and then go on and on with your mulligans from there.

  The practice mode just isn't enough: after 10 shots you are done with a hole and you need to start over... pretty annoying.

  Definately a mulligan option, i would definately use that, especially for those putts you want to try again, the pitch, chip and flop shots, my personal opinion is a driving range in my view is pointless, we've all stood at the range belting balls down the range, i dont think you can beat being out on the course where every tee shot is different.

  So, what I am really asking for is "mulligans" on the practice rounds. I do not see where this should be difficult.

  Also been asked thousands of times, but would FAR outweigh a driving range. A driving range is great for getting your swing right or trying to perfect the swing in real life - on here would have very little benefit. Mulligan (in practice mode only) options would have a huge benefit for all lies and using all shot types - and would probably boost ball sales.

  I agree that this should not be too difficult - surely an easy snippet of coding would suffice (but i am no programmer)?
