  You have five minutes to find your ball. If I find quite a few can I set up a stall and sell them. I'm going swimming in the lakes at Congressional, sure to find loads. I'll make a fortune.

  Haven't you heard that it's possible to walk the lake at KIA #17 - filled up to the surface with balls!?!

  I think you will find a few putters in there too.   ;-))

  Lookingforballs:

  how about a feature where you actually find a ball.

  it happens in real golf.

  it could be partly worn or a new one.

  This seems a tad complicated: WGT to add a feature to find lost balls and in parallel rise the price of balls to cover the losses of the former - a win for which party? My bet goes to the company if the clerks do their jobs with their usual perfection.

  I like it simple. Tear and wear and loss of balls is a kind of entry fee IMHO. Revenue keeps the site alive :) The good thing about it is, each player has the freedom of choice how much he contributes to the game. It ranges from nil (Starters) to approx. 60 crs per nine hole stroke play game. For 1 credit per game we may use the B-ES balls for example.

  And, I'm sure, Phil and Tiger would not bother to distract their concentration by any worn-out ball in the rough.

  When he handed me a 3 iron instead of a 60* wedge I hit him between the eyes with it. Didn't do me any good. How was I to know his identical twin brother was waiting at the caddy shack to replace him?
