  So any word on when that Android app will be available? When I finally start making these golf vacations I'm gonna want to keep up my daily rounds. :-)

  The mobile version is not tied to your WGT account.It is just a separate game for ctth only with mobile account. Some players have said they have played on a Samsung Galaxy Tab.As long as your Android tablet has flash you should be able to play.This post is being written on an Android phone.

  Or get a Blackberry Playbook.  A bit jerky sometimes, but I've played sub par ranked stroke games on it.

  If you're referring to the PlayBook, my finger works better than a stylus for the backswing, and the stylus works best for the 'click'.

  What I have a problem with is adjusting the ball spin; sometimes it changes when I swipe it, sometimes I give up trying.

  As a result I don't play alot of game on it;  I just use it to do surveys, etc. when I'm watching TV. 

  And although you can read the forums, you can't participate in them with the Playbook.  Something about the unique and proprietary recipe of WGT forum coding that isn't compatible; that's sad, because there's lots of internet forum providers out there and this is the only one I've run into isn't Playbook compatible.   It's also sad, because one thing alot of web coders used to take pride in is making everything compatible with whatever web interface systems are out there.  These forums are obviously coded with the same attitude as the game:  how many times have you read "I used a different browser (or flash product) and now it works better"?  They just do it so it works in their tools, and then let the customer do the browser debugging for them.

  ........Actually getting Flash Player to work on Android devices is easy, and I will show you how in just a few simple steps. Ready for Flash? Then let's get started.
  
   

  Preparation

  Before you can start, you must ensure that you have the installation of apps from unknown sources check box enabled in your Android settings. This is because you can't install Flash Player from the Google Play Store. Remember to un-check this box once you're done installing though.

  • Open the Android Settings and go to "Security".
  • Enable the check box "Unknown Sources" under Device Administrators.
  • Once this step is done, the actual installation can begin.

  Before you can install Flash, you need to enable Unknown Sources in security settings. / © Android PIT

  Download Flash Player

  Adobe removed the Flash Player from the Google Play Store a long time ago, but there are still archived versions on the Adobe homepage. Open the Archived Flash Player versions on your PC (an easy way to avoid common problems when trying to install APKs directly from your handset) and scroll down to Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives. Download the latest version (the one at the very top of the list) and then copy the APK to your phone.

  Flash Player

  Open a file explorer/file manager of your choice and navigate to the location of Flash Player and install it. That's it, simple huh! Don't forget to un-check ''Unknown Sources'' in your Security Settings once install is complete.

  Once you've transferred the APK to your device, navigate to it and install. Hey presto! / © Android PIT

  Using Flash Player

  In order to play Flash content on mobile websites, you still need a web browser that supports Flash.Google Chrome for Android does not support Flash, but browser alternatives like Mozilla Firefox or Dolphin Browser are compatible with Flash. To use the Flash Player with Firefox, no further interventions are needed – it will just work once installed. In Dolphin Browser the Flash plug-in must first be enabled in the settings. This is found under Settings > Page content settings > Flash Player > Always on.

  That's it, now you can use Flash Player content on your Android smartphone or tablet!

  You can go to the Adobe site and download the last version of flash player that they made for android from their archived files.  You may have to try out different ones until you find one that works.  Or you can try to find a browser that has flash player embedded in it.  Dolphin has some pretty good browsers.
