  I am not offended and I agree with you wholeheartedly, but from the other perspective. As a lefty seeing my avatar stand on the "wrong" side of the ball really confuses and irks me. As for seeing real golfers play, it really doesn't matter anymore because so many of my playing partners are left handed, my brain has accepted the fact as comfortable as seeing both right handed and left handed baseball players as well as hockey players.  And as for programming the avatars, what little I do know about programming, it would not be more difficult at all to achieve.

  12%?  Maybe true, but stats, like opinions, can be erroneous.  Regardless, when I am spending money on clubs, balls, avatars, it would be nice if I could choose which side of the ball I hit from.

  Programming, of course, would be expensive, but I'm worth it!  lol

  Tiger woods golf, PS2/3 has lefties.  THEY got it right!

  Left handed clubs would cause sub 40 rounds.

  Not any more than a quarterback throwing with his left hand or a cager standing at the free throw line and letting it go with his left hand. Hockey would look mighty strange with everyone shooting right handed. Let' face it, the days of right-handed golfers being thought of as "odd" or "strange" and the idea that courses are designed for right handed golfers is passé. So let's get with the program guys.

  How so? you can't really work the ball left or right in this game anyway

  WGT hates us left handed members.

  Why you ask?

  Because "We are in our RIGHT MINDS" unlike right handed folk. Who are not in their "right minds!"  

  They are in their Left Minds.

  I'm confused by your reply piztaker.  

  WGT is virtual!  A little programming, some left handed avatars, and, a pro shop offering left handed clubs.  What's expensive?  The programming?

  We the left handed, are not a minority anymore.  Think Bubba Watson, Phil Mickleson, etc.  

   

  Although the clubs and avatars are virtual, I doubt the programmers are, and any extra work would surely mean extra pay. There would need to be a lot of work to arrange left and right handed golfers singly, let alone with both on the same game. I'm sure WGT has more pressing matters to sort out.

  As for your comment that you are not the minority anymore, I checked stats and found no more than 12% are left handed around the world

   

  do those stats change for Canadians ?   don't forget left handed people use the right side of their brain !!
