  Currently there is no driving range or putting green.  Best place to practice is stroke play practice round.  This will give you in game experience also.

  You really need a driving range or a least mulligans in practice mode..  You can't get in any worthwhile practice in practice mode.  You get one shot and can't repeat it.  Maybe a pitch is better than a chip or flop.  Try different spins and see how it affects carry and roll.  Experiment with amount of break and speed putting.  To do this, you need to be able to drop a ball and repeat a shot.  Pros do it all the time in practice rounds.

  It's my major pet peeve with this game, a glaring omission.  Besides that WGT could make money from it too.  Credits for buckets of balls or mulligans in practice mode would eat up ball life meaning more sales (don't allow the unlimited).

  Someone, please explain why this is not a win-win situation to me.

  Just play. It's the best way to learn. As for driving just put your marker in the middle of the fairway and ding the meter.

  Actually, WGT could give us the equivalent of a driving range. It would be easy, too.

  Just allow us to practice with no wind. #1 StA here I come. That's where I have always calibrated my clubs, but I have to restart over and over to get a LR or RL wind.

  go to golf courses(on wgt community tab) & play a hole, you can have mulligans on any shot you play.

  Missing the point. I'm looking for NO WIND. Just the club. StA offers me minimal elevation. Not so much to ask for.

  Uhhh, the wind blows at driving ranges, too.

     I feel your pain you guys... no driving range is a real bummer!  The next best thing is an unlimited play tourney with no wind. This week it's @ Merion. Week 36 9 hole unlimited play.

     I know it's off topic, but for dialing in those clubs, it's about all we've got until they set us up with a driving / practice range...
