  Can you include the English Flag please or would that be a problem for WGT ?

  I know i can create an England Avatar but thats not the same

  I want to see the English Flag represented on Leader boards etc

  I would be keen to hear what other English players think

  As long as it looks nothing like that one. Did Tru-Golf make that flag?

  One of my club members achieved that by choosing an address from Guernsey. Just saying.

  I agree. The flags represent the countries so we should have flags for England / Ireland / Wales / Scotland and Northern Ireland NOT the UK. People identify with their country. I'm sure Americans and Canadians wouldn't be too happy if we took away their flag put them together and called them North America. The UK flag is appropriate when the entire UK is being represented but it's not appropriate here which is why you don't see it in the golf tournaments;players have their country next to their name. WGT should definitely change this.

  While there is a flag of Ireland, I wonder what makes the difference - in international views - between Scotland and Guernsey, England and the Isle of Man, Wales and Jersey?

  Why are the former united under one flag?

  Ship out to Guernsey Gladstone.

  In your account just need to change the country in the mailing address.

   

  However that's a temp fix and agree that a permanent fix should be added for all the home countries.

  Cool, look forward to the flag flying high in more comps like the winter tour - well done on that Gladdo!

  LOL so we can't choose England and have an English flag but if we choose Guernsey one of the Channel Islands that is pretty much French then WGT give us an English flag? Bizarre. Oh well, I guess it's 'par for the course'  when it comes to American knowledge of world geography or lack thereof. At least a quick fix is better than none.

  Seems ludicrous that we can buy an avatar for our country , whichever it may be , Scotland , England ,  Ireland or Wales , yet we're forced to play with a UK flag next to our name .
