  Well there you have it folks, get used to it. I usually don't fix things that aren't broke, but I don't make any money not fixing things that aren't broke. Stupid is what stupid does. I guess I need to start fixing things that seem to be working and I'll be a rich man.

  About this avatar moving thing.

  Mine has several times just walked off the screen in disgust. Its not my fault, I do what I can.

  I only found out from a friend recently that she actually moved house three weeks ago too, without telling me. No wonder she did't answer the door.

  So don't talk to me about Avatar moves.

  My parents did that to me!

  I don't think it's possible to have both. But it's only my personal guess.

  I'd bet it is. Before I can have the Going Green avatar and you can have Sunday Reds.  Those are different.

  No reason I can think of that I can have Going Green now and you can have Speedy Sunday Reds.

  How about it WGTAdmin?

  Wow!!!! 149 credits for a golf ball equal to a Dove freebee.  1 dot feel, 1 dot durability.  Those will wear out after about 3 rounds of 9.  149 credits??????????

  I have almost 3 dozen Dove balls, but still buy the Srixon because of feel and durability.  The Dove balls dont slow the meter enough for me with only 1 dot of feel.

  I saw WGTAdmin's answer.  Dont really buy it though.  In my opinion, they are going to release new clubs in the near future.  Pretty hard to improve a 4.5 out of 5 dot precision club with only a 1/2 dot to work with.  Now they can add more precise clubs w/more avatar movements.  In effect dropping 4.5 dot clubs down to an equivalent of a 3 dot precision or so.

  That might be ok.  If they came out with some new club brands. 

  Disappointed, but what can we do for a free game.  On the other hand, it is the same as buying new clubs.  Have to re-learn how to use them.

  WGTadmin:

  Based on your feedback, as our valued WGT players, we’ve been looking for various ways to help speed-up the game, and one of the areas we’ve identified is the time it takes to download and process avatar swinging. In last night’s update, we reduced some frames in avatar animation, which has significantly reduced the size of avatar download and improved loading times, especially during multi-player matches where this affects most players. This change has no effect on the power of the swing or the distance which the ball will travel. However, some experienced players may notice there are a few less frames in the swing.

  Please let us know your experience with the new avatars and any suggestions are deeply appreciated! Thanks!

  Thanks for the Feedback Admin

  You have a cheek to say that your speeding up game times, and are contradicting yourselves because a course has loaded but  we have to wait 30 seconds for an advert to watch through!!

  this isn't what's up here at all. It's incorrect to equate precision to the avatar movements. 

  Please refer to my post titled "My ^)($^ is still a foot long"
