  Ridculous! Your ignorance of natural golfers' enemies like brush and gorse, dandelion and heather is NOT an universal truth.

  BWT: Be consequent, stop dealing with "thieves". Good bye!

  Stealing peoples balls and credits by creating things such as brush and other nonsense that doesn't exist in the real world is nothing short of repulsive. (you will get all the good players or those that can afford to lose money back wgt) wgt u will always lose more than u gain financially and participants. Greed is not as easy as it used to be.

  Away and sit down ffs!

  This kinda stuff is all over golf courses...

  SAY WHAT????

  I remember vividly playing St Andrews, ball found gorse - saw the ball (with others) sitting in the gorse - I had 2 choices, play the provisional ball or get shredded to death. I chose the former.

  But if only I had known the gorse was just a figment of my imagination as it does not exist in the real world.

  I gather 9i is either a non golfer or a mini putt specialist.

  this is not real golf

  So why do you compare it to real golf?

  The sleeves are the admission fee to this game, steady cash flow for the company.

  Good thing is, you decide about your own contribution by paying more, less or nought for the balls.

  My two Pfennigs: While many improvements and changes are thinkable, this should stay as it is.

  Everyone who's commented so far either has the brains of a rocking horse, has money to burn or works for wgt. Balls have a shelf life, but wgt cannot wait that long. Also blockheads this is not real golf, in real golf there's a chance u may find your ball, it doesn't get stolen that often.

   

  Been here 7 yrs. next month, in 7 yrs i have lost 22 balls, 9 of those on CCC #11...WGT has given me 4 sleeves for a ball lost due to game errors...so I am out 10 balls which is 0.027 balls per week lost, if I didn't play CCC bck 9 it would be 1 which is 0.0027 balls per week!

  Do you get it yet?
