Previously, I had put two balls in the water on the same hole. The game gave the message that I could buy a new sleeve. The generic rock was only there during the purchase. After the purchase my favorite ball was there for me to play on.
I verified it again, just now, on a WGT closest to the hole tourney. Purposely hit the whole sleeve OB. Used yellow WGT Tour-S 43 credits. Maybe it's just me.
Perhaps won't work in a ranked round?
Anyone else have a random cheap ball that want to test this? Maybe I'm hallucinating... wouldn't be the first time. ha
