    Driving Range w/ simulated roll now possible?

    I'm able to create a hole that is entirely "out of bounds". Then using the macro program "Mini Mouse Macro" - I can have my machine hitting "enter" every second (to clear the out of bounds message). In this way - it appears that I can do a driving range that isn't hitting into the water so that the user can see simulated roll out.

    It also appears that multiple holes on TGC can occupy the same space - allowing 'flags' to be put out at 100, 150, 200 and 250 yards. I believe a single player gets six shots before the hole is over - but if 18 holes were put (on top of one another) - that'd be 144 shots prior to needing to 'restart round'.

    I do not have the skill of a Craig or other course designer - but it does seem like using out of bounds that a driving range that has simulated roll is now possible.

    Thoughts?

    Alright - new driving range that now has 'roll out'. search Hoboken Golf. Sorry that it's not and pretty and tidy as it could be - I don't really know (nor does my staff) how to use the course builder. Someone can do much better.

    I installed Mini Mouse Macro and now golfers can hit around 50 shots and see carry + roll before restarting.

    Craig - can you make something a whole lot nicer than this?

      Gotta love creative solutions - nice job thinking outside the box! I still hope a proper practice area is being worked on. And the ability to start on any hole and then turn on "auto rewind" to hit any given shot over and over is my ideal scenario...but for now it's nice to know there's a temporary option.

          While I'm sure we'll see Auto Rewind very soon - this is something we can use now - with minimal effort and it works very well.

            I tried this. I had to hit enter every time for out of bounds. Is that normal?

              Mthunt. That's normal. Hoboken recommended a macro that would automatically hit enter every second, so it would clear your message automatically in 1 second. If you don't have a macro for this, you'll have to do it old school. Good idea Hoboken!

                JV17 - correct.

                We've got a 16 hole driving range with various flags to use at targets - going to make a similar 'chipping' range with targets shown closer.
