  It would be great if WGT would develop a practice facility. I know there would be costs incurred in developing/writing a new program but these would be more than offset by the purchase of balls etc. I for one would be more likely to rent different clubs often if I had a place to tune them in. Renting a wedge or set of irons >>>>>..You can play a whole practice round and not use half the clubs in the set. just on my wish list.

  What is a practice mode without the ability to hit a shot more than once? Surely, implementing a mulligan option isn't too far fetched.

  They just don't understand that concept. A practice means just that, it allows you to hit several times to learn how different shots work. It is not to learn how to  play a full round.

  Of course I'm aware of the practice mode. However it in no way gives me the ability to hit the same club again and again as if on the range or putting green, or even the "practice" bunker for that matter. In my opinion a practice round is for getting to know the course( and even here , the ability to hit mulligans from the same spot would be extremely beneficial) NOT for becoming familiar with new clubs, nor trying new shots with existing clubs.

  A mulligan option in practice mode? Brilliant idea! Why on earth didn't we think of it before?

  I'll be repeatedly hitting my head against a brick wall if anyone wants me!

  I would like to have a practice option where I could hit shots like a drivin range. This has been discussed and asked for in many threads.

  Stand there & wear your ball out at a driving/putting range, or just shoot a practice round? I'll take the practice round but I still would not mind a driving range if it had cool targets to hit. Targets like a life sized bust of Rush LImbaugh,  giant glass windows, roosters that crow when you hit em,,,stuff like that.
