Small peeve about the balls...

  The fact that the balls degrade and get replaced is cool and everything but for realism... A ball should NOT be replaced when it is in play.  The only time it should be replaced is between holes, on the green,  or in the event of a lost ball.  It's a small detail, but since we're looking for realism here... I just had one get replaced while it was sitting on the fairway.  (good thing I didn't get a penalty :D )

  LOL, in fact, that would be a rules violation, replacing a ball in the middle of a hole!!!  WGT what WERE you thinking???  What would the USGA think???  Ok, well, add a few credits to my account and my lips are sealed!!! ;-P

  I would like to be able to see how much is left on a ball before I start playing.  So I don't accidentally start a round with 1 ball that only has 7 hits left on it.

  Also, the FAQ mentions that if you run out mid-round, the ball will be replaced with the same type AND color if you have them available.  Couldn't that just be same type only?  I don't really care if you switch me over to blue balls if I started with green ones and ran out.  That's way better than being stuck with the default ball.

  Right, so now we're cheating by using the balls offered to us by WGT.  :-/

  It never ends does it.
