  Hi!

  Been in WGT since Nov 2010 but only today found out about this:

  http://www.usopen.com/en_US/course/index.html

  You get to use WGT controls to play - BUT you get to replay your shot over and over.  Great way to see the effect of wind, elevation, green speed, etc., and learn to correct for them.

  I have seen a lot of posts bey people wanting putting greens and driving ranges - so this may help!!!

  Enjoy!

  hi interesting post, on the putting green issue it wd be good if putting grid could b left on even when u putt and after, that way u cd see how ur ball rolls and how it breaks

  i realise that this cant b done for ranked rounds ready go tournys or stroke play tournys. but howabout just for practice rounds on all courses and practice rounds only. i feel that this could help newcomers to this great game,even with the meter problems, to try to get use to different green speed and the breaks. this could help them to prepare for ranked games and tourny play. wd b nice to get other views on this matter

   cheers tom

  The increased dissconnection rate would be greatly decreased if we have a driving range and or putting green to chat and collect players that would be willing to finish the match and even agree to the amount of holes many time you are on hole 5 when you realize that you are in an 18 hole match.  the ability to get your touch before you are 2-3 holes down and not meting your shot abilities.

   

   

  Please help.

   

  happy meters for all

  nice wish we had this option on the regular game.  The ability to finally find the line on a long breaking downhill putt would make every putt after that much easier.

   

  OK WGT......let's incorporate this into the game in lieu of a putting green and driving range.

  Why do you want putts to be easy??? If they were all easy you would be complaining about how boring the game is. The secret to makeing putts easy is to knock your approach shot within 6" of the pin.   GOOD LUCK!!!!!

  Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but all I can see to do is take the tee shot.  Is there a way to play the entire hole, or just get to the green for putting practice?

  Thanks for the link, it's a great site.
