  but then they have been off designing pumpkin tee markers anyway

  Artists and designers do that work, not the programmers.  Gotta give the art-farts a months worth of work too (aside from promotional emails). To the programmers it's just another picture/sprite to reference to, and the system is already set up to handle multiple tee markers so there's nothing they need to change to implement it.  You're just adding another one.  It's easy.

  Balls, clubs, tees etc are easy stuff, and take little to no programmer interaction to implement.  Again, the artists and game architect(s) take care of that stuff.

  Just wanted to bring this up again hoping WGT will notice a player interest in this and implement Metric system option.

  Saying you're "sorry for bumping such an old thread." sounds disingenuous in light of your post.

  But player notice of the lack of a metric option is indeed the point.

  However, I think the number of players truly wanting the implementation of a metric system option would fall well short of a number sufficient to convince WGT to offer such an option.

  Generally it's frowned upon to quote 2 year old posts or to bump 2 year old threads in forums. That's why I started with the apology even if I did it on purpose.

  In this case I thought it would be a better way to illustrate my point (that one of the critiques against metric system is missing the point) than to start a new thread.
