  TeeWade:

    Thank you for your gracious response and sooooo look forward to the next one  :)

  When it comes to you T-wade , there will not be a next one. One look at your profile was all I needed to realize the kind of individual I was actually talking to.You and Manson and the naked girl on her knees with her hands bound behind her back can go have fun doing whatever it is you do.

  I made 2 statements to the OP in this thread. The 1'st being that the one ball condition applies here. (What part of that are you again having a problem understanding ?) The 2'nd being that to say the rule was put in place to force ball sales is ridiculous.

  But I have 2 simple solutions for you since you have chosen to be absolutely , unbearably, unreasonably rude as usual.  # 1 :  Use your friggin' head for something besides a hat rack. # 2 :  Stock your bag with balls before you start a round Einstein.

  So if the one ball rule is in effect during game play why not force a forfeit if the player has no more of the original ball to finish with?

  How in the world was I rude? Just because my opinion wasn't on par with yours I'm the rude one?You're the one with the personal attack upon me and my little profile pic & music video.I've never attacked your seemingly stalker like love for the Creamer pics have I? Maybe if I put up some Creamer pics on my page you'd let up on me. Geeez You can never be wrong about anything can you lol. Anyways.......

  I only asked you, why other rules were not enforced, since you're so hung up on golf rules. I only stated that he did have a point with why not using the balls in the bag. AGAIN  I could care less about the MAKING you buy balls statement. You replied that it is a rule. So i countered with why enforce one rule and not all rules. Like it or not, its just my opinions and so forth. I'll never respond to one of your "holier than thou" comments again as in your mind, you are the PGA rules enforcement committee.

  Have a great day  xoxo

  The point to me is that it has cost me victories in challenges with my friends. I have  abetter balls in my bag, WHICH I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED> i should be able to use them  if WGT  has just for no reason expired the time on my use of a perfectly good ball. I didn't lose it , I am on the fair way and suddenly I have to play and finish with  a lesser quality of bal,l while my opponent plays with an up graded ball.Makes no sense to me and I don't see that as any rule violation.

  How exactly does your opponent play on with an upgraded ball?  It's the same one he started with.  This is not upgraded.  This is having enough balls in the bag to finish the round.

  It wore out, you can't realistically expect them to last forever.   There is a ball life indicator near the bottom right of the screen.  When it turns red you don't have many shots left. 

   

   

   

  I have the perfect solution to this problem.

  When you run out of the type of ball you are currently using during a round, you get disqualified.  Easy.  No more whining about not being able to choose a different ball.

  WGT is being a lot more generous than the PGA or R&A would be.   You even get a warning when you get down to your last ball and can magically leave the course and buy more.  I'd like to see someone do that in the middle of a real life round.

  Did you read the link that Ace posted???? It explains the one ball rule and very well. With the one ball rule if WGT so desired they could just disqualify you from any tourney you were playing when you ran out of balls. They do however let you continue with the free ball. How many times does this have to be answered???? And WGT does not for no good reason expire a ball. Just watch the shot meter and you will see the ball wearing. It is not rocket science!!!

  Head.    Brick wall.   Bang.   Bang again.   And again.

  I don't know about you but I'm getting bored with it.

  I had a nike ball and 3 calloways. I just want to know why it gave me the wgt ball when I had 3 calloway balls already purchased. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Thanks for the information about the ball meter . I never knew that.

  when u go into the water which is basically o/b u can drop it from where it last crossed land. or u can go back as far as u want to drop ur ball as long as u r no closer to the hole. they dont allow for that on this site. which is a rule!
