    I dont know who thought that a bright flash after hitting the green,making a par, or bird,ext....would be a good idea. Let me say that it SUCKS its to hard on the eyes . You would think that WGT would have taken that into consideration.

    Do you ever wonder how people with epilepsy manage in today's world?

    Contrary to popular belief, this form of epilepsy is relatively uncommon, accounting for just 3% of all cases.

    Are you implying its not a big deal then?  3% of the 50 million people worldwide who have epilepsy is still 1.5 million people affected by lights.

    If WGT's useless, unnecessary, stupid flashing text affects just one person with epilepsy, it is one too many IMO.

    Apexpc,

    so what is your theory for the many welders out there that deal with uv flash all day long. i only play at night after work, so i play with minimal lights on because my eyes are sensitive from welding all night long, and for most of us welders we know that driving at night you will see halos due to headlights which makes driving even hard.

    On top of these new bright texts i currently have welders flash with an infection , so let me tell what welders flash feels like open your eye up and pour sand in it and rub it around. this is how it is for days and light will make your eye water and burn shoot pain to the optic nerve behind your eye. even if my eye wasn't burnt, the bright lights at night hurt my eyes . did you also know that most welders do not blink when they are watching the puddle of metal flowing which can be several minutes at a time depending on welding type. This in turn strains the eye and makes it sensitive. 

    Maybe i should just buy an auto darkening welding so when the flash goes off i will be protected from the bright flash
