Running out of WGT balls during play.

  I forgot about checking the status of my "balls", before entering a ranked stroke play game. I hit my last WGT ball in the water on #1 St. Andrews and the system defaulted to the plain ball.  Even though I had other WGT balls in my bag I could not do anything about it until I finished the round.  My question is why should I not be able to decide which ball I want to use, if I loose or use up the last WGT ball?!  

  If I'm on a real golf course and loose a ball, I'm not penalized and given a shag ball, I reach in my bag and pull out a new good ball!

  You will always get the starter ball, regardless of what's in your bag. It's the way this game is set up and there are no options. Sorry.

  Yeah I don't understand why wgt cant add something in where we can change balls in round? It sucks having to use plain balls for a really important round after losing or using up a ball.

  But gotta pick your battles and this isn't one of my major concerns to gripe about..
