  Only if there are laws demanding left-handed avatars.

  B4, I'd like to see left-handed knifes and scissors, left-handed gearshift levers in my car, left-handed coffee cups and beer mugs ;)

  And what about discrimination of short-sighted ppl?

  Yours sincerely,

  a left-handed guy with glasses

  There's nothing to turn around IMO.

  Of all the ppl playing WGT, how many are golfers?

  And of all the golfers here, how many play real golf left-handed?

  And of all of those, how many wish to see their avatar left-handed?

  I assume it's not too many, perhaps less than those demanding a Belgian avatar.

  OTOH, I remember a WGT guy explaining here what's the hussle of a mirror-inverted avatar - more than you'd ever expect.

  Thus, no turn to be expected. As WGTers say: Keep it straight!

  IMO,  there is!  

  IMO I would venture to say most who play WGT are golfers. Who IYO would be looking to searching no less looking to play this game on this site?   I only found it through Revolution Golf.

  IMO i would say most who hit from the left side would like to see a left hand hitting avatar

  Don't no or heard of a Belgian avatar in want

  If i set up back mirrors and such to see a left handed player i guess i could give myself a haircut while i'm waiting for the other guy to hit!     

  If enough lefties speak up it could happen sooner than you think.  

  I guess it would be unthinkable to get beat by the left headed avatar in a virtual game.

  WGT turn this around !

  If you look on the new list of player requests guess what?    There are alot of request for left handed Avatars.     Guess your not a righty on this one topic!

  I respectfully object to most of your statements.

  The first and biggest is that you (and I) can only speak for ourselves. One online golfer, one voice. Thus, one golfer (you) wants to hit it left-handed. Only one supporter in this thread I fear. Get more supporters, then you'll have more voices :)

   

  There certainly are non-golfers here, alas we don't know the number.

  Alas, from a quick search I know that from 10-20 % lefthanders in the (golfing) world, only a small number play lefthanded. Numbers are at about 2-5 % of all golfers.

  So the potential may be 1-3 % for a left-handed avatar, which - I repeat - costs WGT a lot, but for which revenue? Ev1 arranges with a right-handed avatar, including you(?)
