Hi can someone tell me why a message appears sometime saying "ball taken out of play" which results in losing a good ball that has been purchased?, why does this happen when the ball is in play?, it just happened to me when my ball was safe and 48 yards from the green on the fairway ? thanks
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. Please check the FAQ to learn more about golf balls.
