  I am totally shocked that in this day and age, or ANY day and age, someone would actually say something like this.

   

  Then you may be further "shocked" & "educated" by something that was said in the mid-nineteenth century to a French and English delegation in Paris and London when tribal leaders in Gambia, the Congo, Dahomey, and other African nations that had prospered with the slave trade business, had sent delegates there, and as one African chief stated that he wanted three things --- food-stuffs, alcohol, and weapons --- and he had three things to exchange for them --- men, woman, and children

  How about someone saying something like that ?  

  And that makes your racist comments right? You are one sick individual. As an American with African heritage, i find your comments about the confederate flag appalling and sickening.

  With an Irish, Dutch, French, Scottish, English and American Indian bloodline, I am the least racist human you could ever meet. Sick? I believe it is important to realize that everyone everywhere; all of us, are crazy. None of my comment are racist nor meant to be so. My comments deal with either what was, is, or both. Why should I avoid anything of that nature?

  Just want to interject here. There's some misunderstanding about some of the comments that have been posted here (I'm sure I don't need to tell you which) ...so before starting a defamation war that takes this thread somewhere we want to avoid, I suggest we drop that whole thing and focus on the good and more 'realistic' (though I did like the Jolly Roger suggestion- thanks for that ZM) product suggestions that WGT should be taking notice of and getting on with.

  Thanks,

  PR

  So, let me get this straight, WGT is the self proclaimed "most realistic golf game on the web" and while I don't dispute this, lately I'm not sure it's keeping it real.

  They have come up with ridiculous gnomes and dogs tee markers (why, I don't know) yet still continue to completely ignore the issue of real world flags.

  I know for a fact I've never seen gnomes or dogs in real life tournaments, I have however seen Scottish, English, Irish and Welsh flags beside player's names, how about WGT forget the stupid stuff and get back to at least trying to keep it real.

  dogs tee markers

  that has to be Icon's influence.

  I've been told they're bringing this latest thread up and will discuss it but  I don't know how far it'll be taken and we've already been told that so many times already.

  It's hard to know what to believe anymore? All we can do is clearly present obviously very good ideas with unanimous support that are ridiculously simple to get underway and just hope that common sense eventually prevails.

  Seeing as WGT are now all about realism, how about revisiting this thread?

  This opinion has to be viewed with different perspective now.

  In the first CC sponsored tournament "South East Skins", the flags on the greens were Australian flags. So, WGT is able to do something about this subject. Another argument for your quest?

  Just saying...
