  can you select the order you golf balls will be put in play if you run out of balls you are using? in other words I use white rzn balls and want to use rzn red balls if i run out during play of the rzn balls instead of reverting to the standard wgt balls you are given?

  if u run out of selected balls during play then u will be given a free WGT rock to continue. However on start up u are always given the choice of buying more balls if u are on ur last ball of that or any type.

  Rather than spending money on 500 credit balls you'd be better off buying some clubs. They last forever and will make the game easier and more enjoyable.

  No. There are no players' options during ranked / rated play. You'd have to buy some before you fall back to the Starter ball.

  +1 on Courteney's comment.  If the meter speed is giving you trouble, play a warm-up 3 hole practice round with free WGT balls -

  No.

  WGT provides notification you are down to the last ball of that make/model, and the notification gives you the opportunity to get one or more sleeves of the same ball.

  WGT is set up such that a make/model of ball different from the ball a game was started with can not be put into play mid-game. The lone exception is the free Starter ball WGT substitutes so you can finish the game in progress.

  There is a Local Rule: Conditions of the Competition tournament committees can adopt known as the One Ball Condition that is covered in Appendix 1, Part C, 1., c. in the USGA Rules of Golf book.

  http://www.usga.org/Rule-Books/Rules-of-Golf/Appendix-I/

  WGT is the tournament committee here, and has modeled the Conditions of the Competition similar to the One Ball Condition.
