    Just recently ive been getting and ad by keiser college.  A lot of times the game is loaded and the ad is still there and you cannot close it. This is very annoying. I dont mind advertisement but when it interferes with my game thats unacceptable. Wgt should regulate when and where the ads pop up to suit the members and not the advertisers. It get to a point where i do not even want to play anymore. Unhappy golfer. Its the little people who got you where you are today. And if the little people go so do the advertisers. At least give us the option where we can shut dowm advertise if we choose too.

    dolphit, are you talking about a :30 ad that needs to play out (as it does for everyone)?  Are you saying you'd like to shut that off the moment you're ready to start playing?  Or are you talking about a pop-up that won't leave the screen at all?

    I do hear they might start providing an option for those who do not want to watch the advertisements... just like on other websites.  You buy a yearly membership and ads will no longer play on your start-up screen.  Would you be up for that if it cost, oh say, $15 a year?

     Those ads are  going to run their 30 seconds or so, whether the progress bar for the game hits 100% or not. That IS what the advertisers pay for.  

     It COULD be a whole lot worse ... imagine having to pause between holes 2 or 3 times a round for short ads. Those few extra seconds before the round starts is a small price to pay.

    Do you understand anything about the real world?

    ... and do you understand WGT spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per new golf course?  Not to mention the costs of running a company, hiring graphics designers, accountants, marketing specialists, rent on a nice space in San Francisco, heat, A/C, insurance, taxes???

    Oh, you want it all for free.  Hmmm... I'll be right over for dinner.  Can you make that baked lobster, shrimp pasta and a tasty sauvignon blanc?

    I spend plenty on this game, don't mind at all. Can someone please explain the 4g ad running in the background while I have the full hole in front of me, ready to take my shot and I hear the commercial, don't see it, just hear it.

    Yes I do live in the real world . I spend real money to play here. I think that there should be a membership level since all the adds and commercials came about . Other site have the option to be add or commercial free for a fee. If we spend a said amount a month well then why not make it so for us. They already have the Area set up with just that .. Commercials, Adds, and Surveys.. . This idea should not be hard to make a reality .

    I wrote WGT member service with this suggestion and they directed me to place it in the product suggestion tread to get player feed back. No feed back.. or other idea's there on the matter.

    I agree the adds and commercials are messing the game up. It's caused me to disconnect while near the end of a good 9. hmm( how do you report this if you are no longer on the game ) or how about when you are -6 and then in the last thee holes, the meter starts jerking and stuttering so bad you can hit your mark no matter how many times you let it run through, and wind up -2.. now that's just not right.

    Denta Stix's use to be a regular in my shopping cart at least twice a month .. My dog loves them but, Not anymore.. Sheeshaka !! The commercals and adds are not making me want to buy the product, if anything there affect is just the opposte.. And that's all I got to say about that <<<<<<<<<<( said like Forrest )
