  This would be a nice way to learn your new club's capabilities without playing on the course.

  Just set up a practice round with the conditions you want. I have never understood why people won't

   do this. You learn a lot more about your clubs playing on a course than you would on a driving range. Putting is done the same way, get on a green and just putt to refine your distances, and reading skills, if you don't make a putt, just knock it away from the hole and try again.

  What would be useful is to be able to drop a ball on the course and play a shot over and over again.  Play the same shot with different spin, different clubs.  Really learn how far a club carries under certain conditions.  Or play a putt over and over, rather than trying to turn around and wack it somewhere else.
