  I know I can't be the first person to bring it up, but since I'm only about 1 month into the game, what might the possibility of setting up a driving range?

   

  Thanks!

  @ WGT dont like this idea.

  Ever more people here asking for a range.

  And every companie of the world is working to satisvied her clients.

  But WGT like to give a *** of his customers.

  Thats true .

  i think it would be a smart thing to have a Driving Range equipped with a Putting green, chipping area, Driving Stalls and maybe even a call up video at each station for beginner's to learn how to use their clubs.

   Another suggestion I have is shortening the waiting time, when someone looses connection or leaves a skins game, to two minutes. This is more then enough time to get back on WGT  website and get back into the game.

  setting up a driving range?

  That depends what you mean by "driving range".

  If you mean a tee so you could just drive balls into the distance I can see the point of that in real life where you work on your stance, grip, swing etc but it's not necessary on here as you're basically just hitting on full power and trying to hit the dinger.

  If you mean being able to practice drives on the courses that WGT has to offer . . . that can be accomplished be selecting "practice" and taking the drive over and over again until you master that particular drive*

  *eerrr no sorry that option isn't available Pascal . . . but it should be in my book . .

  I think the driving range is a good idea too.  It's really hard to actually "practice" during a practice round.  To practice my flops I had to hit the ball back off the green 5 times to practice the shot 3 times.
