    Why can't I change balls or buy new balls after the one I'm using runs out of uses?  I wind up getting stuck with the WGT ball which is crappy.

    Because you did not accept the prompt at the start of your round.

    You can stock up the current ball any time during the game before it ceases - the Pro Shop is open!

    This is more than you can do IRL.

    I would like to second the recommendation above with respect to being able to use what balls we have rather then being forced to finish a round with an inferior ball. thank-you!

    Welcome to ignorance.

    The cure my friend is learning, best achieved through research.  Try the search bar for I'm Fu**ing tired of repeating myself!

    Such choice is not available. WGT's Iron Rule.

    WGT is the 'tournament committee'.

    In the Rules of Golf, Appendix I, Local Rules - Conditions of the Competition, Part C - a tournament committee is allowed to invoke the One Ball Condition.

    Under that rule you would be disqualified for running out of the make/model of ball you started a round with. WGT gives you a free ball so you can complete your round rather than being disqualified.

    From a practical perspective the way WGT has it set up precludes a player starting a tournament or a for wager round with a less capable ball and then switching to a higher performance ball mid-round.

    As noted WGT provides a notice when you start using the last ball of a make/model and gives you the opportunity to get another sleeve at that time. If you choose to ignore the warning and assume the risk you cannot fault WGT if that does not work out for you.
