  Why isn't there an option for a southpaw?

  Because they would have to remap every course and create code for only left handed players. As a left handed player I have become accustomed to not only playing golf on here right handed but on the real course as well. To the point it would require an extensive amount of work and cost.

  Of course they would have to write new code in order to create a left-handed avatar...so?

  Why would they have to remap every course?  The courses are not the same overlay as the avatars.

  As I said! Been here long enough that we have heard this before. As a lefty myself I have learned to adapt. What helps is playing the game and using your right hand with the mouse.

  I'm sure this has been stated in previous posts, but why on earth was the game designed with only one swing option in mind? Surely it must have entered the equation during the initial design process. Love the game and have adapted to playing right, but to me it's like building a car without an engine. I sure hope the powers that be at WGT address this soon.

  This is because this game is in beta mode. There are still many things this game has to perfect to become a real game. I actually hope they can implement a subscription type deal to where the player pays monthly for pay and gets discounted prices on pro shop items & etc.
