Putting and Chipping...

  Is it just me or is the game REALLY sensitive to putts and chips?  Is there anywhere to PRACTICE your shots?  There needs to be a driving range and putting green on here somewhere.  I"m guessing that your 'practice' is achieved by playing.  Any suggestions or helpful hints on P and C?  Thanks!

  Read the tips in the FAQ's. Doesn't get any clearer than that. As for practicing, use the free weekly unlimited tournaments for practice. Hit into, out of and back into spots you want to practice from. You get 10 shots a hole until you get moved on and nothing counts unless you hole the final putt-just start over.  If you want those mulligans mentioned above, set up practice rounds anywhere you like.   GL.

  Hi, I tried to set a single player practice round so I could use the new option MULLIGAN , but I can't find any possibility to do it under the « create a game ». Maybe you could lead me.  Thank for your time.

  The mulligan option appears in the top right hand corner of all practice games.

  When you create that game chose Stroke Play under Game Types and switch the Game Mode to Practice.

  You can also just select Stroke Play from the menu on the left of the game client window to create a game.

   

  p.s., If ScottHope  is available and reading this you might bet lucky and get a short video of how to do this. ;-)

  Thanks to Courteneyfish and YankeeJim for their help.  It's working. Now, the next step would be the possibility to choose one particular hole to practice without having to play all the previous ones.  For me, the 8th at St-Andrews was my goal but I had to play 1- 7 to get there.  Maybe I'm asking too much but it would be a very interesting option. 

  Thanks again!

  You can do that now. Just click on WGT Community, then on Golf Courses and pick a hole. You can't alter the specs though.
