I have never been gifted balls but have given some ams cheap balls. It is a revenue driver for WGT when/if players accidentally gift balls by clicking the wrong button at the end of the match. I have done it before being in a hurry during a 30 minutes sponsorship session.
This particular Level 114 Tour Legend player (below) has asked me multiple times to gift him (400 credit) balls as I was teeing off and today I took a screen shot. If you don't respond to his chat, he won't ask any further during that particular round.
I just wish WGT would remove this auto gifting of golf balls at the end of the match as we can gift clubs, balls, etc. at our discretion anyway.
What's strange is that some players do not have the auto gift balls at the end of a match? I wonder how often I'm auto asking for balls at the end of the round?
