  Sorry, we unfortunately don't offer the option to play left handed on web.

  On the iPad app version you can play left handed. In fact, you can switch between them from one shot to the next. Or at least you used to be able to do so.

  Quite often my avatar assumes the left handed position for reason unknown to me. Full shot and putting both. Any explanation for this WGT?

  I believe it is not a left handed stance but a view of where the avatar came from. Simply looking backwards before taking the shot forward.

  And I find this to be an annoying fault of WGT which is otherwise a marvelous creation.

  You offer left handed avatars in the mobile game but not on the web.

  Can it be that hard to produce. I am left handed, and would like to play with an avatar that p;lays from the left side of the ball.

  Please, can you not work on that?

  Yup, it shows the reverse view of a normal right handed stance.

  It's one of the longer running glitches in the game but the glitch longevity award goes to our old favourite in multi-play; no putt concedes in extra holes.

  To play left handed, one could set up a mirror next to their monitor and view the game by looking at the mirror and not the monitor.   Just remember the wind will be opposite and it may be difficult to read the distances this way. But the avatar will look lefty.  ;-)

  There is a thread somewhere about how very difficult it would be to make a left handed avatar for the web game by a mod named WGTniv. And Shoe said it was easier on mobile because there was only 2 or 3 avatars to program instead of the 100's of avatars on the web game.

  Yeah. You could do that. But in the digital age that should not be the way to create a left handed golfer. I am not a mirror image of my right handed friends.

  There has to be a reason for this fault and I have not yet heard anyone provide it.
