  I think you have two chances here, HubieB.  Slim and None .... and Slim just walked out the door!

  It sure would be nice though for my Senior friends!  Several have made comments about having a Sr. avatar.

  We don't need a senior avatar.

  What is a senior avatar? White or no hair, pot belly, slumping shoulders. Hell if I want to look at that I'll just go look in the mirror.

  I want to look at what we have, brings back fond memories. As the song says " Those were the days my friend "

  Jiggsie ( 76 years old ) I don't need to be reminded that I'm a senior lol

  Totally agree with Jiggsie.  Why would a WGT Senior (and I'm just a couple months from Medicare) want to be reminded (via Avatar) that they look like a prior Billy Casper or Miller Barber.  We should all want to look like today's Lee Westwood.   Are the seniors also asking for a return of wood shafts and persimmon wood heads to hit with?  NO....    The avatars with knickers are sufficient reminders of the yester-year bygone days.

  I think if you wanted a Male Sr. Avatar with a pot belly and a kermit butt, you would probably have to pay extra.  The Sr. Avatars that look like Chuck Norris would be the least expensive, since they would require less artwork!

  LOL.

  Guys ... I'm single ... and you're making me want to stay that way!

  I see no need for a senior avatar to have no hair and pot bellies. Personally, I'm proud to have been around this long 69 yrs. It's been great, except for the last few years under the current Administration. 

  Perhaps I should have used the term 'mature' avatar...

  Your statement, "We should all want to look like Lee Westwood"  - doesn't cut it with me. "We should all want..." what you want, is that what you're saying? 

  Here's the deal for me, if their was a mature, decent looking avatar I'd use it. It would be my choice to do so and it would be the same for others. Use it or don't. If someone doesn't like it they don't have to use it. Seems simple to me. I would simply like to have a different option. That's all.

  Wood shafts: A number of years ago, 10 or 11 I believe, I had the chance to hit a few balls with a couple of wood-shaft clubs. A friend had a full set of antique wood-shafts complete with original bag and let me take a few swings on the driving range. Was pretty cool.

  Ah Mikey, how sweet!  You're asking me out on a date!

  Sorry, but I think I'll have something important I've got to do that weekend.

  When is Championship Weekend?

  Yeah.  A date.  That's it.  You'll cancel for me.  Opportunities like this only come around several times a day.

   

  And it's right now.  Grab the clicker and turn it to TNT, or follow it online.
