  When you play an expensive tournment (1000 credits) and the expensive ball you use ends, you automaticly get a bad WGT ball instead of one of the other (expensive) balls you have in your bag. That's stupid and actually a robbery from WGT! Or do I misunderstand something?

  This from what i understand is the one ball rule. My suggestion would be if your down to one ball b4 a round starts make sure ya have several. When that round starts it gives you a popup that says its your last one would you like to buy now and even then you can still go to the webpage and buy same golf balls and it will be there. So no robbery here

  I understand your point, but I had at least 3-4 other and better balls in my bag. My point is thats since I've bought them earlier it's more fair that I'm given a choice which ball I want to countinue with. But WGT then gives me the worst ball in the bag...

  You don't understand his point. It would be against the rules. It's nice of WGT to let you continue your round at all as you should really be disqualified.

  My suggestion is BEFORE your round starts figure out what ball you figure is the best you have and make sure you have several of them. Thats the only thing i can tell you that makes sense. If your playing tournys in RL you cant just pick and choose any ball ya have purchased in the past. You play with one ball type and carry on.

  You're here over 4 years, ignore the in-game solicitation to buy more  because you're down to your last ball and you're just now discovering this?!

  Playing for 1000 credits I do believe it would be prudent to focus. Just a thought.

  TG your point is well taken, there is no reason on earth why when you lose your last ball you are playing with , that your inventory could pop up and you get to choose the ball you want to replace.

  It seems it is just a " we don't want to offer this feature " from WGT plain and simple . 

  You are playing with your best ball to begin with, so any other ball would be less , but not the worst

  If I am not mistaken, you are prompted before you tee off to edit your equipment and after you have started the round, WGT warns you of your ball status and allows you to buy additional balls.  I just don't understand the whinning about this, it has been a feature for a very long time.  It is up to the player to select the type of balls and make sure that he amount of balls necessary to finish a round are in his bag.

  WGT could select another ball to finish the round for the player rather than disqualify them from the tournament and they have chosen to give the player the WGT free balls to finish with.  It would not be easy or proper for WGT to attempt to select another type of ball from the players bag to replace the expired balls with.

  No one said for WGT to select the ball, just pull up your inventory and you select. it's that easy 

  P. S. No they are not being nice, we are not pros, this is not a professional tournament, and they are using that as a scare tactic to get you to spend more money to buy more balls. Buy more balls or use the worst ball and take a chance on a bad game
