  Is there any way I can gift those free balls given out to someone I don't like here?

  Nope.

  We may only gift items from the pro shop, spending credits.

   

  Concerning "someone you don't like", the best treatment is "block and forget".
  Use your blocking list to keep them away (at least partly) and as a memory list.

  For the players you don't like - alosso is right. Blocking them and not engaging them is unfortunately about the best you can do.

  For the golf balls you don't like - Just in case you're not aware of it, some time ago WGT quietly added an easy way to eliminate those balls from inventory. In the screen where you select a ball to equip there is now an "X" above and to the left of each ball that makes it easy to delete it from stock.

  Have a bit fun with them, instead of using starters.

  Pick a hole and just knock the ball somewhere you aint used to being, way right, way left, back of green etc then take your shots from there for bit of fun and practice

  I am Yancyism in other words.

  Except sometime, WGT free balls are rebadged Srixon Z-Star which are not so bad once you fit the 2 dots meter speed.

  Yes, some of them are not bad. When you only have one it makes sense to use it in unlimited round CTTH games. If you lose it or when it eventually wears out it's only a few more shots with the starter ball to finish. Not too frustrating.

  If you're really patient a few of them repeat from year to year so you can just let them sit. A few years from now you'll have a full sleeve of a decent ball for free. That removes the risk of getting stuck with the starter ball in the middle of a round if your preference is stroke play..

  WGT should develop a ball display rack to sell in the pro shop where some of us could show off our collections. Some longtime members have over 40 or 50 of these specialty and logo balls now.
