  I'm sure this must have been sugested before.. Why can't we select another ball in our bag if we run out of the type we are using in a game? I now have a few balls that don't have enough hits left to play a full round, but I could use them up if I could select them when one ball type runs out.

  You are right it has been suggested many times before and if you would have used the search box>>>>>>>>>> you would have found all of the answers . So here you go . When you start a game you only have whatever amount of balls in your bag that you have . The balls in your inventory do not count . Consider all of the extra balls as being left behind in your locker or trunk of your car .

  The game gives you the option to purchase more balls during play and it makes you aware that you only have one ball as well .You never start a round with one ball unless its a practice round . You can delete any balls from your inventory that you dont want to use or you can use them in CTTH rounds or practice rounds .

  I love the imaginary balls in the trunk of the car.  Must be a lot of junk in that trunk.  Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that we should be able to change balls at the completion of any holes in a round.  Come on, WGT!!  How hard would that be to accomplish?  Please appease those of us who do purchase balls and want to play a variety during a round. 

  Here's an idea.  It would bring a whole new set of tournaments.  One ball tourneys, two ball tourneys, etc., unless we have to continue leaving them in the trunk.  Please remove the junk from the trunk and get us this option.  It's not a new request and would make a lot of people happier with the game.

  Take Care,

  Alan

  Apart from real world analogies, there is game programming. Here, the bag is locked through the game (following the golf rules for clubs) and the balls are included in that lock. Though it's certainly possible to change, there are three obstacles:

  - It's a change which must be planned, programmed and tested,

  - it costs work time, thus money,

  - it's to the company's detriment concerning financial and stability consequences.

  As a logical consequence for us, ball prices might increase or a totally new pricing concept would appear - pay per game or such :(

  Why don't you just use them for practice rounds?
