Putting and chipping greens and driving ranges

  I think it would be very helpful to all here if you were to add driving ranges, putting greens and chipping greens to the game. 

  For instance, when you first log in to WGT to play and you aren't "warmed up" or ready and you want to hit a few practice shots before beginning.  Or say you got some new clubs and you want to get used to the way they act, it would be nice to hit some balls to get used to the speed of the meter or distance that the new clubs are capable of hitting.  You simply don't know until you get out on the courses.  And if you get a new putter...or want to practice with your current putter...there's no place to do that before beginning a round of golf.

  Putting and chipping greens, as well as a driving range would be a welcome addition to WGT.

  Free practice everywhere. Just do a practice round of how many holes you want. Hit or putt the ball back and fro till you hit the limit for the hole usually 10 hits. So where ever you can do practice rounds you get to do it all. I use that  system and it's great. So don't say there are no places to practice.

  Neither practice greens nor driving ranges would be nearly as helpful as merely introducing mulligan shots in practice mode. The alteration to existing code would be minimal.

  Why add when you have all kinds of practice available. Take a shot from the rough then hit it back into the rough over over over again. Putt from one spot and try to putt it back again or putt in a different direction. You can even practice bunker shots over and over again. If that's not enough for you then go take all your free mulligans on a real course and see how that works.

  All the time people are shooting in the low 50's on a new course no changes will be made to make the game easier. Anyway the longer it takes people to get the hang of the game then the more balls they will buy.
