    In past years there has been a sponsor of the US open generously providing a free avatar for all those who enter.

    May I request that if that is to be the case again this year that a female version be available to those who want it.

    Many thanks in anticipation

    It was Lexus last year, i even sent an email to Toyota to voice my displeasure :-)

    Apparently they don't think we buy cars.

    What say you WGT?

    Well said Sara. We should boycott it if it's not put right this time.

    This is not only for the girls Gary - I happen to know that a lot of the Gents use Female avatars, summat to do with the movements (?) so it applies to everyone and I think that there should be a choice.

    The clothing offered by WGT should represent the official scheduled for the U.S. Open men's and obviously created in collaboration with the official sponsor. In contrast to what is expected for the open women where in this case, the sponsor may not be the same. 

    Surely it would be a hallmark of what it used to be get an upgraded to a female avatar but this is regardless of the fact that there is a sponsor or not. WGT now, aside from the novelty of the Golf Channel avatars, creates one and only during the year at precisely for the Virtual U.S. Open.

    The last in order of time and that does not belong to the list of those offered by the Open was the "Funky" avatar, choose from a range of 3 directly from the members logged on Facebook. At this point it would be ideal to put on the market including the two not chosen, personal opinion.

    David.

    Valid points David - but we only have one virtual US Open - neither mens or womens as far as I can tell.

    Nothing sexist meant I'll have to give them a try :)
