  Hey all.

  Apologies if somebody has already suggested any of the following, but two possible suggestions that would be cool to have on WGT.

  (1) As a proud Kiwi, playing with a New Zealand avatar would be cool.

  (2) As a left-handed golfer in life, I wonder if we will see the introduction of left-handed avatars as well.

  Dont hold your breath on either one . They deleted have of the avatar selection , during the last update . Where it used to be some 10 pages of avatars , now its only 5 . Even a lot of the country avatars are gone now . I guess WGT decided that they werent selling enough , so they reduced the stock . :-(

  I don't think they actually deleted that many.  If you click on an avatar they now have 3 options of buying per every one shown I think, where as they used to be all individual

  Actually I don't think they deleted any avatars. Like you said they just lumped them together where they used to be all individual avatars.

  I beg to differ.

  I remember a second Rugby(?) avatar for either Australia or South Africa (RSA) - now each of them has only one design.

  I agree. (edited)

  But, which are new? England and Wales are the only candidates from vague memory...

  Scotland, Ireland, Italy have been there before, along with USA, Canada, Australia, RSA.

  Actually , they deleted the black male avatar , and most of the black female avatars as well . Also some of the country avatars are gone as well . So yes they have have reduced the number by quite a bit .

  The selection of "female 2" and "male 2" skins respecitvely seems to produce the dark skin. Where is it missing?

  Which country avatar(s) do you miss?

  There's one Irish female (with the usual choices 1, 2, 3) and two Irish males (choices split into 1 and 2, 3).

  The Italian lady is wearing latest Italian fashion:

  This woman from The Boot is dressed in an Italian golf skort with white shirt, visor and shoes.

  Same dress for the Loudmouth ladies ;)

  I even found the Australian Green and Gold avatars which I had missed in my former post - skins 1, 2, 3 available.

  They haven't Lonny. They've just shuffled them.
