Edit: The advice below is intended for those using the FREE Starter balls. Using the FREE balls, in practice rounds,
may not be an advantage if you use PREMIUM balls in a tournament.
Just for fun, here is something you might try until they get us a practice facility around here.
Driving Range: Play a PRACTICE round. On any hole, aim far right or left so the ball intentionally goes OB. Each time this happens, you'll get another shot (after a penalty) from the same location, like the tee. Repeating this gets you 3 or 4 shots from any place on the course, until you reach the max strokes allowed for the hole. You can do the same thing on the next hole, or start the game over again. You will also earn points for each stroke, even if you quit the game...and bonus points for completing the round.
Putting: On the greens, you can putt, up to the max strokes per hole, as long as the ball does not go in the cup...again earning points along the way. The important thing to remember is to always be in PRACTICE mode or everything you did will l count in your stats if you finish the the round.
