    I bought 3 wgt balls with credits.  Lost one in the water so had two left.  In the middle of a round got a message that one ball was being removed and I had only one left.  What gives?

    Just as in real golf, if you hit a virtual golf ball into the water or out of bounds, you must replace it with a different ball. Also, when you play with a real golf ball it begins to lose compression and eventually becomes less playable. We have a similar concept in WGT where balls purchased from the Pro Shop have a durability factor and will wear out as you use them. You get roughly three rounds of golf with each ball before it wears out.

    When a ball wears out you will receive the message that the ball has been "Taken Out of Play".

    When a balls wears out, it is automatically replaced by another ball of the same type from your inventory. If you have none of the same type, they are replaced instead with a free WGT starter ball.

    They have a limited life I'm afraid. There is a meter in the bottom right of the play screen.

    Dr. Icon said it had a tumor and must be removed. You will live 10 more years now.

    To be honest, I get excited when I see that pop up and it wasn't from a shot OB or in the water...  It means that I got full use of a ball for once lol.

    If they removed 1, just hope they don't remove the other 1.  LOL
