Re: Ball selection on tee box

  I was wondering if you could bring out an option for if you have multiple available balls to be able to change them when you are on the tee box.

  As an example I ran out of my Nike RZN balls and I had Glenmorangie balls available, but I was then defaulted to WGT starter balls while still having 10 holes left on the tournament.

  Really they can not get other programming right and you want them to try messing with something new, that has 2 months of crashes written all over it.

  A legit question. After years & years, the answer seems a more legit no. About the only cure is to re-up your balls early when warned or learn to love the free ball ;-}

  Many of WGT's games are set up like tournaments. Also note that WGT players have a scoring average instead of a handicap.

  The rules of golf have a provision that lets a tournament committee invoke a local condition of the competition requiring all players to use the same make/model of ball for an entire round. it is known as the One Ball Condition. Breach of the rule results in a player being disqualified from a tournament that has invoked the local condition.

  Rather than disqualify a player who did not make sure they had a sufficient stock of the same make/model of balls to complete a round, WGT provides a free Starter ball.

  WGT has a pop-up message that warns players when they start using the last of the make/model ball they are playing, and gives the player the opportunity to buy more of the same make/model of ball.

  You can read about the One Ball Condition in the USGA rule book in Appendix I - Local Rules; Conditions of the Competition, Part C, 1., c.
