  At the risk of being labeled a prude . . . where is the monitoring of some of the pics that are posted. Come on guys and gals - if you want to advertise please take it elsewhere.  There are kids under 16 that play on here. Also I refuse to refer my friends to join WGT now. I have had to pre-check all invites lately.

  Just saying . . .

  Personally I was not aware of this issue, I basically just play and dont look at profiles - maybe I should start lol ....jk. If there is something questionable or offensive,  email WGT  using the contacts at the bottom of the page with all the details and if possible a screenshot.

  I agree, there are a lot of other sites around for that.

  Most of the one with pics like that are trying to get men to gift them balls and clubs and the like. Like the 2 previous posters said. Send any thing like that to WGT and they will take care of it. With over a million members it is hard for them to police everything by themselves.

  Thanks for the support guys. There are trolls out there but I call them "chick trolls" they hunt females . . . I don't go looking for them . . . but when I get an invite I check the profile and get a good idea of what they want by their friends - also questionable pics. 

  Good news - I was about to turn one in but the pic (along with some of his friends) have turned into greyed images.  Wahoo - I am only guessing, but way togo WGT!

  For the most part these kinds of avatars are put up by very young guys who are still virgins, persons of either gender that are looking for some advantage, or very ugly women.  There are undoubtedly exceptions.  I just don't know what they are.

  I would say that anything you want to look at can be found on the web.  Big waste of time to look for it (or present it) here.

    I had a friend that I made here that went from being a man with a male profile pic to a stunning female in just a few days. lol. It's a good thing most of us here are here to play golf and socialize. Every time I see a picture of a good looking girl in a profile here I just assume its a man. o.O It's easier that way lol

  How many inappropriate profile pics do you see ? And how do you go about finding them ? I would believe it is probably 1 out of 25000 members that do this . Just guessing. Ignore it or dont search for strangers right?

  Or you can be a snitch like opy. Personally snitches end up in ditches.

  If you want to play with a friendly squirrel, let me know. Nothing meant by my profile picture. Sometimes, genetics can be cruel. Just look at the face, NIc Nic is a sweet guy.
