I agree 1000%.
We need a chat area in wgt.
Trying to use another program to chat with, creates all sort of problems to the game play and seems to course the server to crash...
Wgt has a chat area when we play. It should not be too difficult to allow that to be opened on all pages (Profile and CC), allowing us paying customers the ability to chat with their friend and CC members.
Just like real golf!!! We have a chat before the we pay green fees (even in the car park) and we are able to chat in the club house after the game!
I am sure it is not difficult for the WGT "IT" wizards to do!!
