I have to agree with you, John. If it were actually simulating a golf crowd it would be different. But, to me, its like 3-6 people who have the enthusiasm of a crowd at karaoke bar before drinks are served.
And I agree that there should be a separate volume bar like with the environment sounds to where you can turn it off.
Its nice that WGT would try and make it a more pleasant game, but, lets get real, fix the problems within the game instead of adding a something that's annoying.
