LOST BALLS!!!

  Really getting "sick & tired" of losing "expensive" balls......especially the BEST NIKE balls.  I've played over 300 "ranked rounds".....have outstanding accuracy stats...and have worked my way to "Master Tier"....a 68.5 average...I'm a fairly good WGT golfer.  Suddenly, I'm losing balls left and right.  I know, we all lose balls from time to time...but, this is getting ridiculous.  Is it ME..........does it just SEEM like the more balls I purchase...the faster they get LOST???  WGT....HAS to know WHO is buying what balls.

  Maybe WGT's cash-flow is getting low these days....so, they're searching for ways go generate additional income?  Geeeezzzzzzz, the millions of dollars of ADs on here SHOULD be enough to cover our ball costs!!!

  I guess we all have to have at least (1) pet peeve on here......this is MINE!

  If WGT wants me to go back to playing with those UNLIMITED (free) balls....all they have to do is keep TAKING MY EXPENSIVE BALLS FROM ME.  I actually did pretty well with "starter equipment and balls".

  The other day, WGT e-mailed me to tell me I won a bonus....didn't know what it was, they didn't say.  I loaded it   It was "PUTTER PAL"......and that really sucks...totally messed up my PUTTING, so I deleted it.  If they wish to give me a BONUS......I would love to get some of those NIKE balls back they took from me.

  OK..........I'm done complaining for today.....going back to PRACTICE!

  The courses you play, and the law of averages:)

  FWIW, I lose them in streaks, and error of the side of caution with fresh balls, i/e over the the wind, hit early/late, etc.

  Many times a safe par is the way to go, depending on wind set.

  The Srixon distance ball is only 200 credits, that's usually all I use. It gets it close to the pin most holes. I find it more durable that the other ball.

  Hell, the first time WGT gifted the sleeve of Nike balls to me, I pounded it outta bounds on #4 approach at BP. How the hell did I know the damn thing would carry that FAR lol.

  I don't mind losing the ball if I screw up, the the meter balls kind of grind my gears. Most of the balls I manage to get doing a survey or 2 a week.

  good luck,,don't lose em

  Too FUNNY..........yeah, I wear NIKE running shoes.................but, from now on, I'm NEVER buying another NIKE "virtural" golf ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....period.  So, NIKE can spend all the Advertising BUCKS they want on here.....it won't help them with respect to ME.  I'm going with the OTHER "brands"......less expensive and still get quality play.

  I know........maybe I should just use my WEDGE IRON....and keep hitting my shots down the MIDDLE of the fairways........my scores and average would suck.....but, at least I wouldn't LOSE my friggn "virtual" golf balls......LOL. 

  That DANG Hole #10 on (The Famous 18 Holes) course.....beware of the weeds on the right...and of course, the drainage ditch that runs across the middle of the fairway....there are probably HUNDREDS of "virtual" balls there............oh, no, I'm wrong...I think WGT went and collected them all in the middle of the night....to sell them back to us.....LMAO.

  I mean.............come on, I've heard of "safe sex"........but, not "safe golf".......*smile*

  I agree sure is coincedental that my meter also runs great with 143 credit balls but the minute i buy the cals or nikes I lose at least one right away and go to weeds or water this game is the most inconsistant and if these people dont think that WGT plans all of this and scams everyone then you are very naive if you owned the game would you let everybody play with the ball you have or make them buy more so dont be a dumbass and believe WGT is in this so you can have fun its all about the BENJAMINS they can make and with all the people that dont realize this WGT is making all the money off of you

  I take it by FUN you mean FIND.... and oh, your Caps Lock key is stuck!

  Anyway, have you SEEN some of those WEEDS????? There is no way in hell I would go looking for my balls in them, never mind send my caddy there!  I don't care if it's the best ball out there, and is shiney new, or not!  If there is some guy brave enough to go out there and find all these lost balls, he deserves whatever he can make out of it!
