  But it is much easier and quicker to buy balls by clicking on  the last ball warning.Doing that  you buy a sleeve of balls without ever leaving the game window.

  Bit of a pisser when you get the 'oops' notice though eh ?

  Would you start a $5 RG relying on that working ?

  No prob at all in a single game:

  Go to the pro shop during the game and fill up the bag - choose wisely though! :)

  Also in a MP, there should be plenty of time to finish the buy.

  Furtheron, the "oops" has proved all wrong for me for a year - the balls have been there to 100%.

  I'd certainly not rely on any insecure assumptions with money at stake. Alas, in a RG it would be well possible to take a break and visit the pro shop for a safe buy after any "oops".

  I always check my bag to make sure I have all the right equipment before I start any type of game. I have been caught too many times with no 3 wood or driver because I had just played a ctth and carried 4 wedges and a cheaper ball. Always check and you will never be caufgt. If you only have one ball left of that type you never know if you will lose it in the water etc. I always have at least 3 in my bag

  I'll say once again..

  Would you bank on that in a money game ??

  You picking at everything I say on purpose or is that just your way ?

  Yep, Papa.

  They wear and tear after 90 - 125 shots (1), depending on their durability dots.

  And they get lost, too...

  I see it as a kind of green fee. from 1 cr/9 holes to 25 crs...

   

  (1) edit: except putting on the green
