    Hi Quantumfix0,

    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.

    All the Best,
    WGTShamWow

    WGT balls (as in real life) have an allotted lifespan, about 3 rounds per ball. That's how they make money. You either live with it or use free balls.

    Right so!

    In more detail, the limited validity of the "ball" licence expires after about 100 strokes (90 to 125 are known numbers), or when a licence terminating area like OOB or water is hit.
