    If it ain't broke don't fix it. It's no good messing with the icing on the cake if the sponge is no good. Any bugs need to be fixed first.

    My thoughts about the new in-game graphics....

    I don't think you youngsters at WGT R&D have given much thought to the fact that a good proportion of your clientele are no longer 16 years of age!

    As we get older our eyes deteriorate, and it certainly was not a good idea to inflict blindingly white text across our screens every few minutes.

    If your R&D employees would care to do a simple test on yourselves and look at a bright light for a few seconds then look away, you would discover that you can still see a ghost of that white light for a short time even though you are no longer looking at it. As you get older, the period of time for that ghost image to disappear gets longer, therefore if you are trying to focus on things on a computer screen after you have just been blinded by bright white text, does not make for a very enjoyable gaming experience.

    Please would you consider giving us the option to turn off this bright text on our screens or even remove it, as your older customers will not appreciate this one little bit.

    Thank you.

    Just one concern with it, With the sudden shockwave of light like that, would it be dangerous for people who suffer from epileptic fits.  Can it be turned off.  Just wondering.

    -Roger

    ....and for elderly like me over 60 and many more  that play this game..it's a must to have a turn off option as suggested

    Scott...your post was well penned and on point...which basically translates, in the wgt world, as code for it to be ignored...The IT guys know what's best for the customers (cough) ...so break out the sunglasses, until the Mods tell us a work around, or how to just turn their latest "improvement" the hell off.

    borntobesting:

    And now we have what I am going to call exploding words. Land on the fairway rough or green and the words sort of pop and explode on the screen. Totally annoying. They are so white that when they pop up on the screen and sort of explode it is almost blinding. Please WGT get rid of this annoying new feature.

    I am rather someone who adapts me to the elements but seriously now this is the drop of water thahas made the vase overflow!!

    Like borntobesting and other people says, these exploding word effects are just annoying and they remain showing at least 4 to 5 seconds + it slow a bit the game while showing this. It need to count 3 or 4 more minutes to finish a 18 holes because of this new feature. It was very good as it was before. Hope that WGT will add in the setting section a check box to disable this feature.

    I have not tried yet but if the problem at the end of the Alternate Shot has fixed, like some players says, so this is a very good point!

    I haven't seen the flash yet since I just logged in, but was it to help the mobile user see the text?

    Now off to find some sunglasses so I can play a round!
