  How many balls have we lost playing this golf game?? ive lost at least 6 in the last several months. So where are all the lost balls?? They are somewhere unless they have vanished into thin air.

  to start with when you have lost a ball you should be given time to locate it, the game should not just declare a ball lost. If this means by looking for it by using something such as one of those Nick Faldo ball finders then these should be available to buy from the pro shop. Also you should be able to keep any balls you find along the way.

  I once had a ball declared lost - ok it was a wayward shot - when I could actually SEE it.  Hmmm...

  I agree, i have hot balls and ok the may have gone into the weeds but surely you cannot declare a ball lost without looking for it. this is where I think a ball detector like the one Faldo advertises could be a good buy in the pro shop at least you could try to find it and possibly be lucky enough to find a lake ball too. The only thing id WGT would have to develope the game more but this would obviously cost money and are they willing to spend to make the game better.

  Cool idea. Problem is, some people will stop playing and only look for balls.

   

  I have a better yet suggestion, a floating ball - one that you don't lose by throwing them into water (of course it would be a little more expensive)
