The VALID argument by all WGT players regarding lost balls (in grass) ought to be addressed by WGT more fairly then they have heretofore done. When a player can place their cursor right on the spot (and in many cases, the actual ball) that WGT then rules to be lost, it suggests avarice.
OB is stroke and distance, not confiscation of the ball, and there is a five minute hunt in real play (not necessary in game play). That you don't allow people to "ball dip" to retrieve lost ones is understandable (but you could sell a lot of ball dippers like you sell putter pals). But to confiscate balls that were visible until WGT declared them lost is so unfair as to approach theft!
A fairer approach to the lost balls dilemma (other than water) might be to subtract 10, 20, 30, or more strokes from the lifetime total, and if the remaining lifetime on a ball is expired by the smaller penalty, THEN confiscate it! Might that be more acceptable to the playing public?
