  IN THE LAST MONTHS OF PLAYING THIS GAME AND WATCHING HOW YOU AS PROGRAMMERS HAVE COME UP WITH A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO INVEST MONEY IN EQUIPMENT AND TO BUY VIRTUAL GOLF BALLS FROM YOUR PRO-SHOP AND TO WATCH THIS PROGRAMM TAKE BALLS OUT OF PLAY FOR NO REASON. THE RULES OF GOLF SAYS THAT IF THE BALL IS UNPLAYABLE IT IS TO BE DO BY THE PLAYER AND A FIELDMARSHAL. THE PGA AND OTHER OFFICIAL ARE BEING ASK TO LOOK INTO THIS PROGRAMM AND THE MATTER BE DISCUSSED WITH ATTORNEIES TO PUT A STOP TO INTERNET THEIFT SUCH AS THIS. THE US ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS BEING SHOWN THE PROGRAMM AND HOW YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW. PRODUCERS OF GOLF BALLS ARE BEING ASK HOW LONG A GOLF CAN BE USED IN A ROUND OF GOLF AND THE LIKELY HOOD OF IT NOT LASTING THROUGH 3 ROUNDS OF PLAY.

  Turn off your caps lock key and learn how to use paragraphs.   Maybe you should ask WGT to change your username to hardtoread which would be a more appropriate user name for you writing "style".

  Do you really think the PGA is going to take you seriously if that's how you typed your message to them?

  WGT hasn't stolen anything from me.   In fact, they gave me a way to have a steady stream of credits so I don't have to spend money and not have to worry about losing balls.

  I personally dont see how this is theft wgt do not stipulate we have to by any balls in fact we need not buy anything if we dont want to to play the game,we buy them out of personal choice to try and improve our game.If we hit em in the drink,gorse whatever that is our fault.The only thing i would disagree with is having to go back to the tee when you have an unplayable lie,but again this has been mentioned in another thread.but theft i dont think so.

  I disagree. Just played a partial round with this gent, but he bailed after a few bad strokes. The name suits just fine.

  As far as the other meanderings, good luck with that lawsuit. I have yet to see anything on this website that forces a player to buy balls or any other equipment.

  Gives me an idea though. Recently paid to see some really bad movies. Maybe I could take them to court for misrepresenting themselves as good entertainment.

  Wow .....  Therapy would be an option.  Spellcheck would be a close second.  Xanax, as needed.

  I dunno Norm...  Come to think of it there were some pretty horrifying dates before I met my wife.  Perhaps I can take these women to court for misrepresenting themselves as something remotely entertaining..... ya think?

  I don't know why I am even wasting my time responding, but here goes....

  1.  WGT provides unlimited free balls to all registered members. 

  2. When you purchase any upgraded balls it lists a durability factor.  The durability factor is explained in the FAQ's.  Here's the link : http://www.wgt.com/help.aspx#equipclubs

  That being said, you either failed to read or failed to comprehend  the details of what you were purchasing.  Either way that is your problem, not WGT's.

  3.  "PRODUCERS OF GOLF BALLS ARE BEING ASK HOW LONG A GOLF CAN BE USED IN A ROUND OF GOLF AND THE LIKELY HOOD OF IT NOT LASTING THROUGH 3 ROUNDS OF PLAY." 

  When was the last time you saw a pro use the same ball for a whole tournament?  Doesn't happen.  As for amateurs I think you would be hard pressed to find any that use the same ball for 3 rounds as well.  Amateurs are either not good enough to keep a ball for 3 rounds without losing it or  the ones that are good enough to go 3 rounds without losing one are probably fairly serious golfers and would switch them out anyways. 

  Read the article http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-equipment/hot-list/hotlist_howlong  Baed on the info in the article 100 hits at 125 mph and the balls is trash.  So as far as I can tell, WGT is giving you a deal because the balls last far more than 100 hits. 

  On a side note, the new product line for the fan store should be tinfoil hats with the WGT logo.  It'd probably be a number 1 seller.

  Someone (not me - i'm too lazy) needs to start an "Idiot's Hall of Fame" thread.  With just this one post .... this guy would get my vote as a Charter Member.
