   Is there any way to go back to your bag and retrieve balls you have in there during a game. I have about 5 different good ones in my bag but cann't get to them, if I should have a string of bad luck during a round. Plus I would like to use some of this up.

  hi

  no you can't. it's due to the golf rules which don't allow changing balls during a round.

  You act like you can change balls while your playing real golf or something weird like that...

  I imagine that once you start a game that the programming is all set and can not be changed or something like that. But its still stupid not to be able to pick one of the stray,better balls in your bag than resort back to the unlimited.

  but it may have something to do with the water holes and hazards that I or everyone else would change to a cheaper ball just in case, then switch back to a better ball once on the green.Therefore making your better balls last longer and not having to buy them quite as often....

  This is an extremely valid point.

  Hi

  The golf rules allow you to change your ball between holes and if you shoot away a ball i.e in water are you allowed to use any ball you have in your bag. And furthermore if you are out of balls you can go home like John Daly did, it is not allowed to receive any complements from the outside when a round is started.

  So your reference to the rules of golf are wrong dear Icon and the endless supply of balls clearly brakes the rules.

  Anyway, there's a set of technical limitations in this game and we all have to be with that.
