  it's just the way it is. I am sorry, but I don't have an answer as to why and so on. Sorry :)

  Just the way it is ?

  I stand behind Helen as always but Danny makes the best point .WGT needs to grow up and understand that players of all sex and race are in this game and should be granted equal rights .

  JUST THE WAY IT IS ! 

  Thats a bad answer to any question , For a member that has put alot of money in this free game it is a bad mistake on your part !

  I think WGT needs to focus more on the members they have and club owners like Helen need to be heard from more often .

  Well said, MFERGI!

  It wouldn't be a bad thing to have another thrown our way as 'compensation' lol (tee green #1 or dusty rose #1 for me thank you)

  'Sorry, but as a bloke, I get confused when 4 players are all dressed in the latest Lexus gear'.

  You get confused.......I kept missing my turn, thinking it was the other guy....an a few times I tried to take his shot, which made it more amusing at the time.

  'It has to be said, ladies on the whole, pay more attention to their appearance than us men, maybe if WGT employed a lady or two in WGT HQ, this faux pas wouldn't have occured in the first place.

  Nicely said :))

  Well said !  Dianneher

   I agree that if WGT does not have equal employees working for them.

  Then we as members dont have equal rights!

  Megan22 your comment was of  value more than you know .

   WGT isn't just sexist, you know. Other avatars that didn't come free from the Sun Safe tournament:

  Asian, black, Hispanic, Indian, West Indian, French, Canadian, French-Canadian, older, much older, overweight, obese, younger, young overweight black French Canadian, Texan, metrosexual, and lefties. There may be a few I missed.

  I dont think you missed too many unless you include wheelchairs .lol

  I think this topic is petty at most and I only stand behind two friends that felt the need to voice their opinions on it..

  WGT is not sexist or racial ! 

  Just Confused on who the real members are in this game and they need to speak up more to be heard !

  Not good enough WGTicon both sexes play this game, or are we still only supposed to play on a Saturday afternoon when the " GENTLEMEN MEMBERS " are in the clubhouse.

  This is the year 2012, WAKE UP ,

  Hi Helen:)

  This has nothing to do with that. To be honest, I don't know why but I assume there is a specific reason because, what other reason could there be? 

  I personally, would have loved a new avatar. I been using women's avatar here for the last 3+ years.

  But, there is no nefarious purpose or some 'other than just we do not have it' point to make.

  Have you ever thought about going into politics icon lmao ......

  No, but I have stayed at holiday inn.

  I'm very disappointed with WGT and how they've handled this. 

  First off this... 

  ]I'm not sure how much power you have within WGT, Icon... But to write this and believe this whole thing is okay like it's no big deal or anything is quite wrong, IMO. 

  It is sexist. To not even bother setting it up for us to be able to get a female avatar, or better yet not even THINK about setting something up like that is so wrong. 

  This whole thing could have been avoided had WGT set it up so you have the option between 2 avatars, a male and a female avatar and you get to choose which one you want. But they didn't, and I bet didn't even think about it. And here we are today...

  Poor form, WGT. Very poor... 

   

  I am sorry but I disagree. It is not sexist. Just like some things are only available to certain country's, this is the same. Often times we cannot control it, so saying that we did so on purpose is wrong..
