Re: Lost Balls Penalize Paying Players

    The whole lost ball scheme seems to unfairly penalize the most the players who contribute the most money to the game. If you did not buy special balls, you could play, and lose, wgt balls and it would not matter. Tee up another. Players who spend 1000CR on a sleeve of balls, contributing to the WGT coffers, lose a ball and have to buy more. It is just a coding matter to bring ball back with appropriate penalties, possibly with a hit to the ball durability even. Why does WGT penalize the players who contribute the most to the game?

  Hmmm 🤔

  It's the company's main source of revenue. Do you really believe they would undermine their own business like that?

  Sounds like a tin foil hat story to me.

  I agree 100% with the thought that you shouldn't lose balls

  Especially when many I've lost were do to poor camera angles and or meter jumping or glitches 

  Some of the putting camera angles are close to impossible to reed the green so end up guessing ( usually wrong)

  Oh I'm using a android phone

  Maybe with pc or large tab this wouldn't be a issue

  Wrong POV, IMHO.

  It's not a penalty but a contract: We provide money, they provide quality balls. The best point of that contract is that we decide how much to spend - even zero is o.k.

  And it's more than balls: It's the "green fee" for admission to these beautiful courses. Unless we choose Starters.

  There are more tin foil hats than you think in this world. Amazing! 🤦
