  I think you'll find that as we never see more than one person on the tee, they all might be little people.

  Hey! a lot of us wear glasses and hearing aids and I wear my hat backwards.

  Where's our avatar?

  The OPs suggestion is  ludicrous.

  : amusing or laughable through obvious absurdity, incongruity, exaggeration, or eccentricity.

  So, why is there black avatars, asian avatars, and white avatars? Why avatar with national flags or id?
  If your afirmation is correct, then it should be only TWO avatar, a Woman and Man.
  So, why some YES and other NO?
  And, it seems to me more important, why you (and others) DONT WANT a little ppl avatar? Do you and the other protest for all those avatar besida a random Man and a random Woman?
  
  I dont know what is the problem with that. But ill understand that all this ppl complain about it start a post asking to remove ALL avatar besides a random MAN/WOMAN. At least ill see coherence in there point.
  
  For me, there no problem (technical or ideologic) for little ppl avatar. Even more, but in this case with some technical problem, a custom avatar.
  
  Once again, i hope you understand my bad english.

  I think most replies were as a result of the OPs request - and judging by previous requests by him such as free quality balls etc., it is hard to take it seriously.

  I agree in theory, yes little people, players with glasses, hearing aids and every possible request that one could think of, could be implemented. But all development comes at a cost - and depending on how many projected players want certain avatars/features, becomes a major  factor in what to implement.

  The little persons avatar in particular can be compared to the left hand avatar as all aspects of the programming would have to be changed - in the little persons scenario, all club sets would have to be recreated to alter the swing plane (a shorter person has a vastly different swing and we cant have the grip poking them in the eye when teeing off) - which would result in higher prices for these sets of which IMO few would be willing to pay for - ie financially poor resource use..

  At the end of the day, my avatar looks nothing like me (I am far more handsome lol) and I do not complain - it is a computer golf game, not  SIMS4.

  Political correctness madness in a golf game, what's next?

  I agree in most parts.
  The technical problem, i think. Including the left handed. In terms of animation, are the same but "in mirrow" for example.
  At least in terms of avatar. I mean, ofcourse it "should" impact in the math of the game, bat same diferent tipes of body.
  So, just as "avatars" i dont see much problem.
  But, anyway, what i said is that too many ppl complain about a little ppl avatar. One thing is saying is hard to do it, and other is "even if is easy, I DONT WANT A LITTLE PPL AVATAR".

  Thats what worry me the most. I dont complain that there is no little ppl avatar, my complain is that some ppl complain about the posibility that a little ppl avatar exist! Me a few days ago recived xenophobic expresions.
  I dont know if im explaning myself well, haha. I should probably took english clases again ahaha.
  
  I agree with you. Its a game, open for many countrys and all kinds of ppl. Lets play, and have fun.

  Okay, then to make my round sooooooooooooo much more enjoyable, I would like my avatar to be female, 30'ish, 44DD-22-32, red hair with hip-hugger short-shorts and a bikini top.

   

  So much for hitting the 'ding', but I'd kill in multi-player. :)
