  Here is a question for WGT Human Resources Department.

  In light of WGTPizza departing, poor WGTIcon needs help in moderating the forums, on top of whatever work Icon has to do, would WGT consider hiring at least 2 new moderators from different parts of the globe? Even if they were part tiime mods.  I was thinking one in the UK/Europe and one in the Southern Hemisphere, so pretty much at any time of day there is a Moderator available for everyone - after all it is World Golf Tour!.

  In this day and age you can log onto a remote server from anywhere and easy to  video conference so I can't see this as a problem. Improved communication and more timely answers, worth consideration?

   There are a few players here in WGT land who know the game and have been here long enough and all ready help in the forums ,  Let one of them fill in till the right person can be found .

  I did see some new WGTxxxx on here answering questions, about a week ago or so. Don't remember the exact name.

  I fully agree with above suggestion. I try to read forum as much as I can to keep up on the goings on and I thoroughly enjoy the varied opinions on here. There are one or two senior players that seem to have an opinion on just about everything...lol. I wont mention names as I dont want to put them in an awkward posn, but they would make excellent moderators, at least on a temp basis.

  I'd like to take that job (knowledge of an unusual language as a bonus for WGT), travel to California on company expenses sometimes and spend some time on Olympic, Pebble and all the other nice courses there :o)

  I wouldn't mind being a location scout for WGT.  I'd happily be flown round the world and be paid huge sums of money for playing different courses to see which would be best for the WGT full HD treatment. 

  I'd even provide my own clubs and balls.

  Come to think of it, I wouldn't even need to be paid huge sums of money, good old well paid would do.
