    To add 4 more countries and their flags to a database would take a decent coder a matter of minutes, this is just down to some stubborn fk in the office saying " NO, we will not bow down".

    Look at the PGA list of players WGT and do you see any UK players ?

    NO, not one.

    Shows how realistic this game actually is.

     I hope you get your flags, but if they removed the US flag today I wouldn't care, probably wouldn't even notice it...

    I actually feel the same way. Don't care a lick about having any flag to show where I live.  Everything that WGT says they're never going to change, never stops becoming new threads again. It just goes round and round. Perhaps a rival online Golf site will pop up and get everything right by everybody's standards...... or not.

    Easy for you to say, but if they took away the US Flag tomorrow, and you got a North American flag in its place, there would be an outrage.

    That's easy to say when you know it will never happen , anyway , imagine if for arguments sake you had a North American flag , you're playing a MP game and your opponent asks " so where about in Canada are you from " ......... would you not get slightly annoyed ?

    Care to bet on that?

    Still staring at the flag?

    FTR...It's the 'Isle of Man'

    There  lies the problem with the politically correct people of the world, they nit pick everything looking for something, then ASSume the vast majority thinks as they do when they don't, and anyone who doesn't is ignorant and uninformed, when you present a valid opposing view they resort to things like bringing non existent elements into it, what if's, then they try to discredit you with sarcasm and more what if's, finally resorting to kiddie cr@p like correcting your spelling(like I give a sh!t how the Isle of Man is spelled, the point is made even with 2 n's and was in your favor)...

    Lets deal in facts for a minute!

    It is a privilege to play here, not a right!

    If your not one of the 2 founders or 2 major investors, your opinion on improvements is welcome, but not really all that important when final decisions are made...

    Simple math, number of active members on this forum vs. millions who are not doesn't give us much leverage now does it..

    WGT ALREADY SAID NO! Right or wrong the decision has been made, let it go or leave if you REALLY want to make a statement...if you don't, then it really isn't all that bad now is it?

    That said, I think you guys should have your own flags and I would hate to see anyone leave, but they don't care about my opinion on this either!

    If there WAS a N American flag, but there isn't so why create flags that don't even exist?

    what if we came on here tomorrow and there were no avatars, just a club to swing, some people would be mad some wouldn't(and it can happen, I played several holes once with just a club visible)

    What if all the flags were gone and you had to go to their profile to see it...

    What if they didn't let threads like this remain, deleted them as soon as it started...

    If they lowered all the ball/equipment prices 50% tomorrow EVERYONE would be elated, but I promise you in 6months or less a new member would start a thread about the high priced balls and equipment!

    It is impossible to make everyone happy, it's a game....why in the world would members threaten to leave over any of this cr@p, I just don't get it..

    All we are asking is for a flag which represents the country we happen to live in , flags which actually DO exist , same as virtually every other nationality that plays this game , not really a big ask .

    I wouldn't leave because of it , i'm slightly addicted and think for all it's faults it's a great game , all i want is a flag to match the avatar they sold me .

    If ignorance is bliss why take offense?

    I was simply pointing out the correct name. There was no intention to make you look stupid... yet with every subsequent post you dig that pit a little deeper for yourself. Perhaps it would be wise to end your tirade of nonsense and jibberish?

    If that bet could be taken I certainly would. You not caring places you firmly in the minority. Most Americans would not be happy with that.
