  There really needs to be a practice driving range to practice shots, distances, etc. and a green to practice putting, sand shots, chips, pitches ...

  This comes up every day. Just go into practice mode and choose a course or a hole and you can practice for as long as you like. Mulligans too.

  Dam l wish l had a euro for every thread started from people asking for driving range/putting green, l'd be kitting myself out with custom made avatars and phoning Chad every sunday for something to do.

  Use the practice facility available, and now they have a 'mulligan' feature you practice to your hearts content, if your concerned about the ball usage in this feature, use the starter ball with no 'hits' incurred!

  Dont know how many threads have started  asking for this, l'm sure lf you looked over there------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>>>

  You could find any info you may need.

  I'm not endorsing or naysaying the idea but this is just one more example of WGTs disconnect from its customers. The fact that it still comes up almost daily indicates there is still a huge demand for it. This has been the #1 customer request for over three years and WGT just plain ignores it.

  Icon, you've engaged people repeatedly about solving meter problems with "clear cookies and cache" and "try a different browser". You're obviously not shy about repeating the same thing over and over. How about typing up or acquiring an official WGT explanation as to why they won't do a driving range or practice green, saving it on your computer and just pasting it as a reaction to every one of these requests?

  Customers deserve to hear official company policies and reactions from company employees, not other customers.

  LMAO!,  I thought the thread was either a joke or a bumped thread.

   

  IMHO, the new mulligans feature takes away any real need for an actual driving range/putting green.

  Some may complain about ball hits counting with mulligans, but I say, it's much better than paying for a bucket of range balls.  Imagine the cost per bucket  if you wanted to practice with your game ball at the range.  =O

  Re: driving range or putting greens we have heard from official company reps. The answer is they're never going to do it. Why would they put out the money to have a driving range filmed so they can offer it here? We can drive and hit approach shots or putt all we want in practice mode.

  Customers who have joined recently and make the suggestions are putting it in as a new request.. They deserve to hear something about it officially from WGT. It's been a very long time since someone from WGT gave the company's side of it to all of these people who weren't even here the last time they said anything.

  Almost every time this suggestion comes up we hear "the company has spoken" from other members. I never see anyone using actual quotes from WGT personnel, though. That's why I'm suggesting a moderator write up the official company line on it and paste it in these new threads.

  Gees Zio, that is a little uncalled for - the OPs suggestion a was far to sensible to be a relation.

  But when was the last time they said anything about anything? The 90 day list seems to have been forgotten about too.
