  Custom Avatars-this is a great idea but $5,000 --Absolutely insane--

  So shy not offer a "lower level" Custom Avatar for say 1,000 creds-that you could choose from a list a of facial features-outfits, shoes, hair style, color-)like somewhere between bleach blonde and black--pleezzzz-and skin tone other than "bleach white" and black-some have tans ya know?

  WGT has no idea of how to price items in the Pro Shop to resemble real golf. eg. a dozen Golf Balls Nike-costs more than a Cleveland Wedge??

  Absurd-go to a discount Golf Shop and buy a dozen nike Blacks $33-$42 or --

  WGT price 1,800 credits. Wedge Pro Shop- $110--- wgt 800 credits.  

  You guys or so off. So a new Wedge cost the same as 6 balls?????

   Do you not have anyone in the WGT organization that plays Golf--outdoors?

  this is a great idea but $2,000

  Um...500,000 Credits = $50,000

  Lisa03:

  buy a dozen nike Blacks $33-$42 or --WGT price 1,800 credits.

  so then, WGT price is $18

  Lisa03:

  Wedge Pro Shop- $110--- wgt 800 credits

  $8

  You're missing the point:

   

  Cleveland CG16 64° Wedge (L31+)

  495 Credits

   

  WGT price for a wedge is same as a sleeve of balls--that would be 3 balls. If you don't lose any they will last you 4-5 rounds.

  There is no pro shop on earth that sells a Cleveland Wedge for the same price as a sleeve of balls. Besides, these are "virtual" balls--please explain how they "wear out"

  Besides when you are paying the same thing for virtual balls as in real life--its a rip off.

  *BTW- 500,000 creds = $5,000

  lmao...500,000 WGT credits is $5,000 USD. It's basic math guys c'mon.

  So this doesn't get bounced back and forth with calculus algorithms, let me show you:

  10,000cr = $100

  500,000/10,000 = 50 (number of hundred dollar bills)

  50 x $100 = $5,000

   

  Let's face it, WGT does NOT want people to buy/make custom avatars, but they can always say they made them available now, can't they.

  LOL. Lot easier to just move the decimal point 2 places left.  :-)

  LOL yes!

  And I'd bet a keg of premium Bavarian beer (*) that they don't have one available yet, from the contentless description in the Pro Shop and the meagre response of Pizza (no pun against you intended today).

  Easier? yes, but there just seemed to be some  unusual math formulae being applied so i decided to show my work to get full credit. Not to mention the intended sarcasm by doing so (sorry, I find a certain humor in passive sarcasm)

  Anyhow-all that aside please POST the first "Custom Avatar" purchased-I'm just curious to know who took the "bait" (hook, line and well the whole 9 yds) 

  One thing you can say for WGT--they got balls! Nike, Callaway, and Mostly Maxis)
