  First off this has nothing to do with the open and finishing second. Congrats to Kriz, he is the better player and deserved the win and definitely the prize, which should be awarded to him. I was thinking before the tournament even started that this would be not only the first open I try to qualify for but that last competition I compete in. I'm at a point in my life where I need to decide whats more important. Spending hours playing this game, or achieving everything I want outside of wgt.

  There are some things I'm unhappy with in this game and I won't say that's not apart of the reason for my decision. I have vented in a few other threads... all in all though, this probably has to be the best golf site ever created even with the many flaws.

  So I wanted to say my goodbye's and thanks to wgt for the awesome game and to numerous people I have met on here that I consider my good friends.

  Cheers,

  Jon

  Yes a very sad day. I have seen some of your concerns and hope that one day you return and get the enjoyment out of what is, as you say, a great game. Good luck.

  Agent you are the winner in my eyes m8. The winner changed his flag to the uk flag last year when he found that sweden wont elgible to win prizes. There is a forum post some where and others advise him to do it. I doubt he moved just to play a game so congrats to the real winner agentbrown123

  Great tournament Jon , and after some time you may return to play again with your friends that you have made here . It is a great game , yes with issues just like with anything else,  but you learn to adapt , beat the challenges , grow from them and cherish the friends that you have met here .

  This One?

  Same dances in the same old shoesSome habits that you just can't loseThere's no tellin' what a man might loseAfter the thrill is gone

  
  The flame rises but it soon descendsEmpty pages and a frozen penYou're not quite lovers and you're not quite friendsAfter the thrill is gone, ohAfter the thrill is gone

  
  What can you do when your dreams come trueAnd it's not quite like you planned?Ohh, what have you done to be losing the oneYou held it so tight in your hand well

  
  Time passes and you must move onHalf the distance takes you twice as long

  So you keep on singing for the sake o' the songAfter the thrill is gone

  
  You're afraid you might fall out of fashionAnd you're feeling cold and small, ohhAny kind of love without passionThat ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well

  
  Same dances in the same old shoesGet too careful with the steps you chooseYou don't care about winning but you don't wanna loseAfter the thrill is gone

  
  After the thrill is goneAfter the thrill is gone, ohhAfter the thrill is gone

  I don't know you - but from a quick glance at your profile it is pretty obvious you are one of the top players int he game.

  Maybe just "take a break" rather than deleting your account. It might be nice to pop back  once in a while and check in with the friends you made here!

  Best of luck in the future!
