Practice area?

  Unless I have missed it somehow, I don't see a practice area - where one can set up a shot on a particular hole and then repeatedly practice the same shot from the same location, with the same wind conditions, but with the ability to try different powers, clubs, spins, clicking accuracy, etc.

  If there is such a feature, please tell me how to get to it.

  If there isn't, please design one.  Thanks.

  I hope that never comes to be.  I was never allowed to do that on a golf course, but I certainly used to practice a lot in city parks and schoolyards.

  I suspect the game plan includes practice areas such as driving range and putting green.  Perhaps those plans include variable weather conditions fed daily from NOAA or another reliable weather feed.  Maybe different pin positions.  Maybe differing green speeds due to time of day, mowing, etc.

  I would hope that with so many possible daily variations in conditions, the only practice on a hole that would be valuable would be actual play.

  Salud,
