MBaggese: alosso: It hasn't been named "one ball rule" by the company until Pizza did so, late in his stay.
No...We players have known and cited the "one ball rule", long before Pizza was moderating the forums.
You are correct, and I am correct.
From my first steps in the forum, the users have cited the one ball condition when the subject came up, but the company would never chime in. On the contrary, Chad avoided any analogy when making the balls a subject in his video chat in Summer 2012.
Much later, Pizza was the first to publish the analogy in 2013(?). Nevertheless, me thinks that "no option" was the true reason for this programming.
And, it's not worth to fight about it - the game is as it is regardless.
The rules of golf are another subject, important only for RL golfers.
