    It could be embarrassing but, what a ride.

    I had the honor and the pleasure of being part of one of the most beautiful virtual golf games in the world and a community that stands out for charisma, altruism, generosity, share and challenging.

    I am a WGTer for almost 7 years and I decided, with regret and a veil of sorrow, to abandon all those who in recent years have known me, from players to staff but above all to permanently abandon the WGT game client. I realized that I lost interest and enthusiasm but this is my problem, it did not depend on anything here and this because I have no regrets (perhaps the only one was to have not reach the Tour Champion tier).

    Who could have regrets or pathetic whinings after 7 years and these stats.

    I spent online over 2500 consecutive days playing, over 20,000 ranked rounds (one better than the other) and an infinite amount of friends that I hope to find here if I ever had to go back just to write a few greetings. 

    I will continue to carve up this page of my Internet life until the same date that 7 years ago led me to sign up, one shot, one man. Meanwhile I thank everyone, indistinctly and in every corner of the globe, I thank all the boys of the staff but especially all those champions that I met and that gave me the strength to improve myself to reach high levels with perseverance and integrity.

    I've never been a real winner but at every game I was aiming for victory, that's why I do not believe in "the important thing is to participate" theory, and that's why I'm leaving.

    See you around crowd, best of luck for your life attempts.

    PS. I just want to shere one last thing. The video I'm posting represents all that WGT has been for me, ever since I first saw it. As long as it was possible I used it as "soundtrack" for my WGT profile page, just to share, I love this video and I loved being here, and just like the passion of this video I spent here my free hours.

    Davide, you are one of the truly good folks on WGT, so it is sad to see you go.

    Nothing wrong with trying to win, but to me, I would accept a loss playing with good friends and company over winning against a miserable so and so.......just saying

    As many have said, never be shy to come back my friend.
