  I think its a great idea.....if you going to the driving range...you could choose a new club to try and some different balls to try...it wouldnt cost WGT a dime and im sure it would help sales.Every time we rent clubs we dont get to chose the club...and we get a nag screen after that keeps trying to get us to buy....thats why i never rent clubs or balls.

  Thats why the driving range is a good idea.

  Probably have better success beating our heads against the wall. But I second Elmo's suggestion anyway!!

  Looks like they ignoring you, i wouldnt let your idea lie if i were you.....Go on go on go on.

  But remember, upset them and your balls will start to find every bit of water you try to cross.

  As a clever man on here states..........resistence is futile 

  Nooooo Barbara, the butter knife pfft

  The cost of ball hits with mulligans Has to be cheaper than what it would cost to use any sort of range they'd come up with.   I think.

   

   

  As far as not being able to turn off ball hits....   what about while putting?  they don't count, unless you are in the putting CTTH.  There must be some way no?  ;-)

  A Driving Range sounds like an excellent idea Elmo...

  I`m definitely up for that..

  The driving range and practice putting green is a great idea! I am sure with all of the technology that WGT has, something creative could be created even if you have to charge a small credit fee, for a certain amount of hits?

  I personally would be willing to pay the small fee, to practice a few swings before hitting the course!

  "Great Idea", Elmo!

  I find that using the free balls in practice mode works quite well, especially on the greens since meter speed on the greens is governed by the putter and not the ball. Spin, however, does depend far more on the ball so there is more difficulty in learning how it effects various shots. Please don't assume that a suggestion from WGT is all bad on its face.Now a promise from them might be cause for more than one snicker.

  A driving range would be great. Yard maker targets as well, that way you could practice your aim for when you do play a real virtual game.

  practice putting green i could use....I always screw up putts

  but the suggestion to use  a practice game for that, useless unless you want to end up spending a load of money. Hitting the wgt free balls does not play the way a paid for ball does while driving chipping pitching or approaching. the only time it doesn't matter is when putting

  with a driving range and putting green you could rent a ball for say 10 or 15 credits and it will last as long as your in that practice mode, that way players could try balls and when they find one they like they will buy them.

  I like the idea, and i'm sure there is a way to implement it where WGT can increase purchases of clubs and balls. From a business stand point it might be worth a serious look
