Here here!
These lost ball issues have been brought up before too in other threads and the durability depleting is THE most fair and realistic way to deal with it, no question.

Okay I'm farily new here and it just came to light that the GI2-D balls with a "3" durability, last only about 57 holes (3 rounds).
Ahhh, this is NOT very realistic IMO and geared more towards WGT income.
Sorry I have to be honest here since I like this game so much.
I hope that this durability, will be adjusted to be more realistic and less income based in the near future. (ie a ball should last AT LEAST 90 holes or 5 rounds which is still a little generous to WGT really, throw us a bone here)
My suggestion, 2 durability = 5 rounds. 3 = 7 and 4 = 9. (also, 5,6,7 rounds would be fine too for 2,3,4 durability)
This is still going to be a steady stream of income, especially as the site grows. People will always need and lose balls as the keep playing.
