Driving Range/Practice Green Alternative...

  Many have asked for the driving range and a practice putting green.  I've a alternative suggestion for WGT to accommodate both.

  Offer a $5. P.A.D.  (Practice All Day). 

  1) As now, offer this on all present courses for 18, F9, B9, random 3. 

  2) Give us a "Calm Wind" option (1-3 MPH max).

  3) No ball durability reduction.

  4) No lost ball penalizations.

  WGT, is this worth considering?

  I like it - would help immensley to to familiarise distances for ball / club combos.

  Would also be nice to allow to trial any club but only during single player practise (WGT have to make money too :-)

  5 $ is a bit steep - i live in South Africa - a 100 credits for an all day practise pass - id buy it!!!!

  Not something that will probably be added.  With the mulligan feature it give players a chance to hit multiple shots from the same spot.

  I'd settle for "may be considered"?

  We all know the mulligan feature.  Not the point.  You make money, we get a option for a driving range/putting green.  Win-win...no?

  Have a look at this thread, I think this would also be a good alternative to a driving range/ putting green.

  I have a question why do all your golf balls have such a low durability . I think you really need to consider your player's on this. We pay a lot of credit's for top f the line ball and get the same durability as a cheap beginner ball this is totally unfair. Why would you treat your top player's who have paid a lot of money for equipment and balls, because your surveys are a joke no one qualifies for any of them and to watch 1000 videos you would never get to play. This is the least you could do for those who pay for high credit ball's 2.5 is a joke should be 4-5. Then they would still buy them and get those who wont pay that price this will get them to spend their credits on those balls. WGT makes plenty off your players how about returning the favor to your loyal player's it's the right thing to do. (YOU DONT NEED THAT GOLDEN TOILET SEAT) GIVE US A BREAK FOR ONCE.

  This has nothing to do with my OP.  Your question has been asked and answered many times in many other topics.

  So this is your last comment on my suggestion?  Have you or will you at least pass it along for consideration?  It would be appreciated.

  Not sure what else you want me to say.  I answered your question.  Practice facilities have been discussed multiple times on the forums and internally.
