  Can  we  get the program to default to  purchased  balls  instead of the  freebies?  this would be a wonderful  fix .

  Can't change during a hole, but between holes its OK.

  Wikipedia:

  There is nothing in the Rules of Golf that prevents a golfer from switching to a different brand of golf ball (i.e., from a Titleist to a Bridgestone) on every hole on the course - so long as the change is made between the play of holes.

  However, there is something in the Rules of Golf that says a tournament committee can impose such a rule.

  It's called the "one ball condition" (in the rulebook, it's in Appendix 1, Part C), more commonly known as the "one ball rule." As you probably know, all Tour events are played under the "one ball rule." And any rules committee may adopt the "one ball rule" for its competitions.  Source

  kinda sucks when you're playing and it takes your red purchased ball. then it gives you the crap starter ball even though you have 6 white sd's in your invenntory.

  Thank you, Thank you.   At least we're getting some people interested enough to comment.

  Push WGT to reprogram to replace the ball taken out of play with a purchased ball rather than a starter.

  Thanks for the link.  At least there is some discussion.  It seems as if there is always a party of "no" as in Government.

  I hate to see an attitude of "ain't happening.  Never say never.
