  I don't get what all the fuss is about.

  What's wrong with the house ball in the first place?

  In fact I quite like playing with the house ball, it sharpens your game up.

  Play with it for a while and then play with one of the 'better balls' and the game becomes a lot easier.

  I still don't get the counter to my original argument.

  It's the decision of our host, full stop.

  Because of this policy I have about 7 different sleeves with one ball in them.

  You may shoot them OOB one by one, or use them up in CTTHs or 3 hole practice rounds, or start a round and quit it when they are finished.

  If WGT wants to institute a "One Ball" rule in tournaments then that's fine.

  IMHO, it's rather the "no in-game options doctrine".

  Also, it would be nice to know how many more hits you have in your existing ball BEFORE they arbitrarily take it out of play.

  Haven't you noticed the indicator yet, the white bar close to the ball, turning red eventually? Known shot numbers are 90 - 125 hits per ball, excluding putts on the green. Make an educated guess :)

  +1.........

  ....players should practice rounds with the Starter Ball so that if they do run out in a game then they know how to play with it.....whatever the level of your clubs.......

  I used the starter rock all the way to legend. The credits I saved bought me all the club upgrades and accessories I wanted. Did I struggle ... yes, but I think my game is better for it.

  The first time you get the free ball after running out of your ball is your warning from WGT. The second time it happens, it's on you ... deal with it.
