    While playing an AS,  I got down to my last ball and the normal "buy now" option came up at my next tee shot.  So naturally, I clicked, but got an error message, that it was unable to process my order, please go through pro shop to buy the balls.  

    Happened to mention it to one of the guys I was playing and he said, not to go to the pro shop and buy them, that the transaction would of gone through.  Which I thought strange because at that time, no credits had come out of my account.   

     It had happened to him the previous week, and he went and bought another sleeve through the pro shop, only to find out that the original transaction that wasn't supposed to have gone through did, so he ended up buying two sleeves of balls.   I let it go, and sure enough at the end of the game, my credits were taken, and the balls were in my inventory.

    My point is - is this a glitch/bug?  or is it another way to scam some credits off the unsuspecting.

    I call it a glitch, one of those connection issues, only of lesser importance than the game discons.

    It has been happening long time, so I got used to it and never go to buy another one. Usually, I get the confirmation mail while still playing, so I know the situation.

    OTOH, what's bad in buying a second sleeve? we're using it anyway.

     Nah, Breezy. Sometimes it takes a couple of holes for the credits to minus and refresh after the transaction. I get it all the time. 

    After you purchase them, check your equipment by clicking your profile on the game client. Check the balls..the balls show up immediately there and credits deducted on your regular profile page.

    Pardon me, how do you do this while in a game?
