  I will try to update this week when I get time.

  Alex, spectator mode is on the list, however cannot see this being developed by WGT. There are options in streaming a game, which some players use like Legendcrusher

  I imagine for every good idea they get they receive about 50 bad ideas which makes it a lot of work reading through all the suggestions but I like the idea of fine tuning the process to make it more efficient and a little more transparent.

  I understand why WGT doesn't divulge some information and that may frustrate players a bit but one of the biggest problems is people just cluttering threads with unrelated or just  unnecessary comments. The forums failure is information overload in contrast to infrequent posts by the WGT moderators.

  It's clear to me there are a few prominent and consistent posters that have a good rapport with the moderators and have been with WGT for a long time. As with many forums, WGT could recognize those key individuals by giving them senior status in the forums so that they could work together to give better transparency and communication with the aim of improving the game.

  Here's just one big improvement which has been stuck in the pipeline for some time but really needs some work.

  I have mentioned this before, and still wonder if it is possible for WGT to do. It's not that they likely ever will, but I am still curious.

  I would like a button added that the OP can turn on or off to allow his/her opponent to see where they are aiming and what club they are hitting. Also, it would be nice to see if ding is hit early--late or bang on. I wouldn't mind an opponent being able to see what I am hitting and how I am lining up a shot. Most times it wouldn't help them anyhoo. ;)

  Furthermore, I wouldn't mind if there was a charge for the feature similar to shotpal and putterpal. I think those who would genuinely like to help friends that are having trouble in some areas would likely agree. Thoughts ??

  This can be done with Skype's share screen option, if you have it.

  Yes Mio, I was aware of that, but I'm sure not everyone has that feature. I am just thinking it would be a handy tool if it could be switched on and off for certain "problem" holes. #5 Merion comes to mind. My vision is it would be great to have someone like Shankette switch on "showmyshotpal" at her discretion.

  I have other reasons for thinking this feature would shed some new light on this game, but will not go into that just now.

  Game Suggestion:

  Would it be possible to have an option to turn off the Friends module while playing an important game? I find that friend activity tends to cause my swing meter to stutter and be inconsistent. Thanks for your consideration.

  What do members think of limiting the attempts you can have in CTTH tourneys, say a  maximum of ten tries per round/competition?

  I will go through the items and add where I think the suggestions should be added and do this tomorrow or Friday (my time) as I have a quietier rest of the week planned workwise.

  Bear in mind that not everything will be included and is just a "suggestion list". Sadly Icon/WGT will not or cannot comment on the items and even if he/they did, not everyone will be happy with them.

  That will be my last post for a while, and while it pleases me to see Chad pop his head in occasionally (so must look at the forums for feedback) the communication between WGT and the players really hasn't improved - and that is no discredit to Icon or DB - I just feel their hands are tied and cannot divulge information many players want to hear.

  But I will pop in hopefully for a daily game so if I am green I will be happy to play, and will invite if I see any of my friends green - but be warned I am playing possibly the worst I have since I ditched my starters clubs when I made Master - and I am NOT blaming WGT for my shortcomings lol.

  WGT is the best golf game by a considerably country mile, but should be a whole lot better IMO.
