  how about a feature where you actually find a ball.

  it happens in real golf.

  it could be partly worn or a new one.

  They were doing that for a short while not too long ago.  Don't know what happened to it though.

   

  I managed one ball found during that time frame lol and was reading about people finding sleeves of balls.

  Here in the virtual world of WGT, we eternally stand addressed to the golf ball we are playing, and we don't get to play from those areas where lost balls might be found.

  How would we caper about to get to a place where we might find a ball?

  Well lets say you hit a ball into 70/80  rough.

  as your standing in the rough addressing the ball, a message pops up saying you found a ball.

  or when your ball lands in the rough and your addressing it.you see a ball next to it, and click on it.

  " Mickelson is a study in concentration, it looks like he's trying to punch a 9 iron from the fescue, smooth backswing and...oh wait, something has caught Phil's attention, he's smiling, now he reaches into the rough. My goodness, he's jumped up punching the air,oh this is an  incredible scene! What a stroke of luck for the lefty Open Champion! I do believe he has found a barely used tour s-d ball!!"

  You have five minutes to find your ball. If I find quite a few can I set up a stall and sell them. I'm going swimming in the lakes at Congressional, sure to find loads. I'll make a fortune.

  LMAO Paul - do you also do commentary for the BBC?

  If he punches the air finding a Tour SD ball, I shudder to think what he would do if it was a MAX ball - that silky smooth swing would be in slow motion.

  Lol, it was meant to be read in a Peter Allis voice.

  Imagine him and Bubba with Max balls. No WTF shots...they'd top the lists every year.
