    First of all let me commend your team for their hard work these past few months on the addition of Congressional CC as well as Royal Saint George, the courses are awesome as are the photos.

     I, as well as others might agree that the time has come to focus on a few of the smaller things on here that are honestly..........just plain BORING and change is long overdue.So what am I talking about, it is really obvious.

    THE AVATARS!!!!!!!

    Here are a few suggestions and hopefully others will add to the the list.

    1. A larger diversity of the population base....There are more than 2 types of people out there.

    2. Customization Panel: As diverse as the population is an Avatar says a lot about a person and most if I dare say would like the ability to change their avatars appearance. Give us the ability to change the skin tones, hair color, hair length, facial hair, etc..

    3. Mix and Match options: Just like the customization panel how about the ability to interchange the clothing, shoes, maybe even club grips for heavens sake.

    4. Add-On Panel:  For the love of Pete (not sure who Pete is) how about some cool stuff WGT like sun glasses or regular glasses, different gloves and shoes (color & style) and HATS!! Who the hell plays golf without a hat (ok, there are a few)?

    5. More Clothing Options: Come on guys (and gals I know X plus many numbers would  scream if this were not included) there is nothing worse than playing in an MP or AP game and 2 or 3 people are dressed exactly alike. What the hell is this, the Stepford wives convention? Give us more options.

    Personally the time has come, maybe others will disagree but logically this is another step in the expansion of this site. While it might be minor to you I have a feeling others will agree this is long over due.

    Thanks! SGT Bilko

    Very Very good idea.. there are sooo many programs out there that allow you to customize an avatar so much better.

     I agree. It has become a bore looking at the same avatars over and over and over...LOL

    Hey Sarge, I agree 100%, I can't concentrate on my game when the gal players on here comment and think I am the stud my avatar appears to be. I need to customize mine to look like the 59 yr old I am. Graying temples, snow white moustache, lost muscle definition, camel in my mouth when teeing off, the list goes on, I play totally honest on here and sure wouldn't want to deceive any other players. Maybe some of the youngsters on here would go easier on me if they could really see the shape I'm in. My son's don't on a real course but that's a family thing they hate it when old school whoops their butts on a regular basis. Taking your side my friend, it would be great to actually let the players express their own personalities, while keeping it PG rated. My closest group of friends and I would look like the boys on the Capitol One commercials.

    Totally agree Sarge,I had been thinking the same thing.Individuality would be fun here for ladies and guys alike.No cartoonish avatars,but options similar to what you would wear to a club tourney,shirt and slacks,or hanging with your buds at the local muni, shorts and shirts. Maybe even get corporations like Nike to sponser avatars here, at no cost to us of course. More revenue for WGT, more options for us......I like the idea Sarge

    maybe even the country clubs could design a logo and you would have the option to put that on your shirts if you wanted.

    Excellent idea. It might even motivate me to join a country club....and like I always say...better to look good on the course than play good, hahaha
