    Presently, when a golfer runs out of balls of a particular kind, s/he has to use the default ball or buy the same kind of ball until the next round. In real golf, you can choose whatever ball happens to be in your bag. Having that choice would be a great help.

    It would also be a terrific addition to the game, to be able to chat with friends at any time you're on the site. Presently, we have to rely on Skype to arrange games. It's cumbersome. Arranging a foursome - especially an alternate shot game - without the chat option means we have to wait for all players to accept before we even know if a game will continue. It sometimes wastes five or more minutes staring at the screen while waiting to see if all invited players can actually play. If they don't for some reason - even a bathroom break - we have to begin again, and maybe waste more time.

    hi

    no chat feature will be added as far as I know because they have to be 3rd party and would be very hard to integrate. skype and dozens of other programs do it very well.

    you can chose the balls in between rounds but cannot during a round since you must finish with the same ball you started.

    How is finishing with a "standard" ball finishing with the same ball?

    It's not but instead of forcing you to quite the game because you ran out of balls we just substitute the Unlimited ball in.

    You haven't got a ball of the same type to finish, IRL you would be disqualified, WGT has the heart to allow you to at least finish

    In case you aren't aware, that is the universal symbol for a troll.  Fitting, as it is something you should be really familiar with, assuming you have mirrors in your home.  Grab yourself a life & some class at the corner market when you get the chance please.  

    You wear thin.                :-)

    I see ICON handles all the "tough questions" these days...yet stays away from the threads he "stickies" when they address difficult subjects.....way to step up to the plate....
