  1, Right now if a player doesnt  shoot...  90  sec.... then a warning ...then  90  again....warning ......then  90 again.....     Can this be shortened on  non  tourny games..  This is toooooooo long .. 

   

  2.  Default on golf balls is really  messed up...  Default on running out of balls in the middle of a game  should be purchased balls  first  then  stock balls.  As it is now ...strait to stock balls.

  technically, in pro tournaments they play the one ball rule.  So if you werent smart enough to check your bag for balls before the round and ran out, you were DQ'd.  Its a punishment to go back to stock balls for not taking the 20 seconds to check your inventory.  I agree with you on #1, but #2 is entirely avoidable.

  Shot Timer Change was discussed here.

  It is on the Player Suggestion List here.

  An option allowing the host of a mult-player game to select one of several shot timer intervals appeared to be the only way to make most people agree with a change.

  I'd like to see it added to the suggestion list to PASS a player tht times out, and let everyone else shoot their shot for that 'round', and THEN return to the timed out player. If he or she times out twice consecutively, then you are the weakest link, goodbye.

  ur  foolish enough to think that  changing from  purhased balls to  freebies isnt a  change huh..  if they are going to  charge us for  balls  and we got  6 others that are different colors then your  goofie in your thinking  or cant understand what i ask for ,

  On the contrary ,  he (Neil) is correct in thinking and for what you ask.  It is you sir that obviously does not understand the  rule ,  aka  "The one ball rule." A  tournament committee can choose to apply this rule or not at their descretion. On this site WGT is infact "The tournament / rules committee" and have every right to apply this "Rule of golf" Obviously switching you to a starter ball is "A Change" , but they are doing you a favor in that your not DQ'd from lets say , a Ready-go  or Matchplay Challenge......  or you can just read this if you like...

  explain  how  u can enforce the "one ball rule" when  the program defaults to the second ball (  the freebie)  thats 2  in my book  thus violating  the rule.

  Someone explain to me how the wind can blow 15-20mph east to west on a daily basis?  It has become ridiculous that I have to play every game with the wind blowing like this.  It is extremely rare the wind blows in my favor.  Lighten up on the wind.
