  I am a sexist,lol

  No, I think when I fisrt started to play here women/ female golfers generally pi$$ed me off, they yapped too much in chat and didn't give a shite about the game.

  That was in Alt Shot.

  So I decided I couldn't carry on slagging them off and making enemies everywhere, I had a huge list of female players I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

  But as it turns out some were actually very good, so I decided if my Avatar was female it would stop me being abusive to other females.

  In real life I grew up in the same club ( West Byfleet, Surrey , England ) as Laura Davies, I was a bit older, but nonetheless she was a great player, even at 17 years old, she to me is an attractive lady because of her huge personality, her physical attributes matter none.

  I'd rather spend a week with Laura than a day with Paula Creamer

  Gibberish, meaningless and pointless.

  You made a post saying woman talk to much, so you are rude to them. But then shockingly you found out some were good at golf....so you became a woman....Then you go on to state that looks matter not its talent.

  Thanks for that amazing insight.

  I have a male avatar. It was given free about 2 years ago to everyone who entered some tournament.

  THAT is sexist.

   

  Tried playing with it once, but the club movements threw me off, and my balls constantly itched.

  Avatars don't necessarily mean anything.

  The other day I played with someone who had a female avatar (I'll withhold names for the sake of anonymity) and as soon as my screen loaded up and before I took my opening drive, she asked me "do u like p*ssy".

  She then started saying some really...*cough* interesting stuff to me, presumably to throw me off my game.  Now I'll never know for sure, but the things she said made me pretty sure that it was a dude.

  Ah, WGT...like Samuel Adams, it's always a good decision.

  My hat is off to any of the ladies here that use a female avatar . To put up with the moronic abuse, and slobbering fools some men become , when they see a cartoon picture of a woman golfer , is beyound belief . I'm sure many were turned off by this behavior and left right from the beginning . And I'd welcome any talking during a game, rather than the wooden dummies that coast thru a game saying nothing at all . 

  To those men (?) that treat the woman here shabby , I say shame on your parents for not bringing you up properly .

  To those men that welcomed the woman players as a friend and tutored them , I say congrats on being mature .
