    I just spent 20 minutes trying to join a Skins game. Between players coming in and canceling we couldn't get a game started. Sometimes I join a game and the game host doesn't start the game. A lobby would eliminate that problem and also we could have a chat box there to let people communicate with each other. We would be able to see the game settings before entering the game.  Also it would be a good idea if there was a vote button during a game if a player gets disconnected to continue without them. Let me know if  you agree and remember be nice with your reply's it's just my opinion.

    Hi

    I like the idea but then you'd spend 20 min in the lobby discussing stakes and who will play :)

    Hi, and thank you for responding. I understand there is no solution without flaws. However I do believe this is a better idea then WGT throwing 4 players together trying to make games when clearly this doesn't work. A lobby makes more sense players can sit in the lobby and lie about there fabulous putts and drives or what ever suits them. I do believe this will work because there is more advertising space in the lobby (provided you don't over do it). There is countless things to do to make this site better. I just hope that WGT considers it.
    Thank you

    Ever play on one of those online poker sites? They all have a good lobby system that I think WGT could benefit from. 

    Granted, just a quick mock-up, but if all these rag-tag gambling sites can do it... I'd imagine WGT could implement something for a better lobby system...

    Yup, this game is lacking that for sure.

    Excellent WGT mock up Kevin, showing the little chat area to set stuff up as well as games currently looking for more players.
