Re: Two minor bones to pick.

  So, two small things I'd like to see to make this game more realistic.

   

  1) Changing the tee boxes/distance to the hole every once in a while, as they do for PGA tournaments.

   

  2)  The ability to occasionally find a golf ball.  Whenever I play real golf, I find at least one ball per round, and sometimes as many as a dozen or more.  Seeing as how there's probably a million golf balls lost here every day, it seems like it would be possible to find some balls in the gourse at St A's, in the little creek at St G's, in the weeds at Kiawah, etc etc etc.  

   

  I'm sure this will never happen, but I feel better expressing my thoughts.  thank you very much and have a good night!  You've been a wonderful audience.

  It would be great to be able to walk through the rough looking for balls between shots or take a ball retiriver with you to the 17th green at Kiawah but sadly it's never going to happen.

  Shame really, I love finding balls on the course.  Mostly rubbish but occasionally something good comes along too.

  Would be cute.  Maybe in CC tourneys or practice mode. Ball retriever posts have been fun to read as well.  As far at pulling balls from the gorse...

  I think YJ has a pic,  I'll find it and post it later.

  Happy Golfing

  vespa-You have to be reduced in size completely or else you have problems. I know, I tried just reaching into those prickly gorse bushes to get a ball (without getting shrunk-only reached in) and this is what I got for my effort............
