  Just wondering if we could get a driving range, practice green, and chipping area with bunkers. So we can practice all aspects of out game. also i would like a different putting meter, maybe something with a number scale so u you can know what distance you hit it and with what amount of power.

  all that would be greatly appreciated,

  thanks,

  sam

  Check out the putting FAQ on the right side of the screen, very informative.

   

  Regarding practice facilities, we already have 72 practice greens/driving ranges at your disposal!  Set up a practice round and putz around to your hearts content maxing out on shots.  IMO a driving range/practice green would be a waste of WGT resources.

  I made the proposition a few months ago, but what about a CTTH putting only, with different kind of breaks and elevations. There sure is room for one on Oakmont. That would 1) satisfy the people who want to practice and 2) probably be the greatest CTTH out here.

  Certainly a fine idea stuffix...but you know WGT is going to think....  "putting doesn't wear out golf balls therefore it's a waste of our time to create something with no monetary return despite how much the players may enjoy it."

  If we just had the option for mulligans during a practice round we wouldn't need a practice range..  Of course the mulligans would not count against your ball hit count...

  well, yes you do have practice as a choice, but, it lacks choices, definately needed is the ability to replay the previous shot under the same conditions of wind and lie, then a person could truely practice to improve. and by replay i mean retake it, not watch the vid.

   

   

   

  happy clubbing
