  I'm not sure how WGT plans to reimburse people for the golf balls expended in the tourney but they are aware of the problem and have apparently been pouring over the code for a while.

  be nice it the powers that be could comment and say why if the problem is known why its been a week and the situation still exists. i'm sure if a situation meant WGT were losing money it would be fixed overnight.

  At the very least an informative update would be nice.

  I believe the game program coding has ball use counted for all CTTH Tourneys because all previous were either iron or wedge shots. WGT set up the putting challenge in the CTTH so it's using up ball usage as a matter of  previous game program coding. I suppose they'd like to be able to change that but perhaps it can't be done.

  I used the free ball once I found out about the ball usage matter. Doesn't it putt exactly the same? Seems that way to me. Why would anyone continue to use up their good balls knowing it doesn't have to be that way? Seems a little silly IMO.

  Yes, simple, use a sleeve of Gi3's or d's, get same meter as Nike's and only cost pennies in comparrison. (or use the freebies and get used to faster meter)

  Actually that's quite easy...  Just send a pack out to everybody who entered the comp before they fixed the problem. 

  The amount of packs they have to send out might be a problem though...lol

  I played it a few times ....until I lost a ball. Screw that.....I can go to anyone of the greens and get pretty much in the same position and try the putts.

  I thought it wa a very good idea....until it cost me money.
