  Why does WGT decide when it's time to take my golf balls that I paid for out of play? I mean..what's up with that?

  All balls ( except starter ) have a "durability" rating, meaning they will only take a certain number of hits ( much like wearing out a ball IRL ). This is also one of WGT's income sources.

  The balls wear out. The little graph in the lower right of your screen tells you how much life you have left.

  Sometimes it helps to sacrifice a goat.  If that doesn't work, sacrifice your firstborn.  If your firstborn happens to be a goat, you might have married below your station.

  You don't pay for balls, you pay for a limited license to use the "balls" software.

  AFAIK, ball life is about 90 to 120 shots, except for putts on the green.

  I remember my Ex saying something like that the other day.  Ouch!

  Using the Ball Washer will extend Ball life by 35%.

  Be careful, the first time I used the ball washer was very painful.

  Same here. I fell off and broke my leg.

  Cautionary note: When playing water holes the chances of hitting into the water are inversely proportional to how much "life" is left in the ball. This effect  is similar to using a "cut" ball or a gently used ball on  similar water holes IRL .
