I had the same problem on my old pc (2gig ram)
To extend the "life" of your pc try using a flashdrive to increase your memory. (It worked for me) This will allow you to increase your memory to 4 gigs of memory without opening the case.
Here is a link to a youtube video explaining how to do it.

Make sure you use an adblocker. I recommend Disconnect. It uses less memory than the other blockers. https://disconnect.me/
Use a dedicated browser with no ad-ons or plugins other than the blocker and flash. Every ad-on and plugin will suck up memory.
Tweek a couple of other things in your WGT set-up.
There is a lot of what I call "artwork" in the WGT game. This all takes memory if loaded.
- Turnoff Hole in One challenges
- Change flash quality to medium (low will give you a better meter, but it makes it harder to see and play the game.
- Lesson Button off
- Reflections off.
- Hole info display off
- Flag animation off
- Surveys no
- Credit offers no
- Swing meter boost off
- Tee shot data off
- Background loading off
- In the game (when it is your turn to play) you can get rid of the David Leadbetter tips that display when selecting your club and shot type. Do this by clicking the little arrow on the top right corner of the box
Last, but not least, play using the pop-up gameclient, but do not play in a maximized window or in full screen. The smaller the game the better your meter will be. I used to size the window to approximately 10.5'w x 8" h. The resizing of the window and change of game settings will reduce the amount of memory the game will use.
I hope this helps,
