    Thanks Lee.  My goof.  But you can't buy more of the same ball AFTER you've run out during a round.  Am I correct on that?

    You are correct.

    BBB... buy, buy, buy... 'tis the season to buy.  WGT will love you for it!

    Do remember, with each sleeve of balls you have to make a new purchase.  You can't buy 3 sleeves at once... but you can buy 3 sleeves for your bag, each individually.

    Hey

    The rules of golf apply in this instance.  If you run out, you can't just run in and buy new balls.  Check the USGA rule book.

    but the rules also say, for tournament play...that the balls must be the same brand, number and compression. Which doesn't occur... but its good fun.... so just enjoy....

    It would be a nice little reminder to have the golf ball next to your swing meter linked to your bag.  Somewhere near that ball have a number representing the amount of that ball still in your bag.  Seems like a win win.  Players don't get switched to starters balls mid round and WGT boosts ball sales with a little subliminal selling.

    Great idea jake!

    Also I would love to know the condition of a ball before it's equipped. i.e to see the hit meter when viewing the ball in the equipment setup screen.

    you have the option of buying more BEFORE you run out on your last ball and you'll be fine.

     

    But you can't equip your bag with them until the round is over. You have to navigate out of the game to do this which ends the round.
