  I wanted to know how many others would like see added to the game a choice or option between controls for a full base game controller pads, like xbox 360 or pc compatible controllers to the game and not just a mouse. It would make the game more enjoyable to most players like us older players who have disabilities and such.?

  sounds good mark..I played tiger woods pc for 5+ years..they offered true swing as a way to hit the ball..along with the meter method..true swing was better for me cause I have limited hand/eye coordination..problem is..wgt is such a cash cow.the mgt of this game don't want to be bothered....better camera coverage would help too..

  Yes adding full controller support to the game would greatly help most people with disabilities as well as us older people in general and make it more competitive as well and enjoyable.

  WGT is a Flash Player based game. Someone mentioned that Flash Player does not fully support game controllers.

  Copied from the driving range/controller thread.

  As for controller support, Flash does not support controllers directly, so will not happen via WGT. I believe there are a couple of third party programs that can assign keys/values to a game pad - I am sure Scott our resident techie will explain further.

  What I was saying is it would not be prudent for WGT to try and develop/integrate software for third party components.

  Basically WGT should concentrate on their strengths (I am trying to be nice Admin2).

  And whilst being nice, I hope Scott is now on the payroll - he does half the mods jobs, and better :)
