    Follow up Question: Why Not? 

    This is a great golf game, but I'm missing out on the true simulation of it, because I cannot golf my normal orientation. Don't get me wrong, this game is quite good for free, but no LH golfers is quite upsetting. Oh well, I'm only playing this until I have enough set aside to pick up Hot Shot Golf and a Vita.

    I here ya.  But until there is a left handed avatar, try not focusing on which side of the ball you are standing. Focus on the shot at hand, distance, wind and elevation. And, if you are so inclined, avatar movements would be the same, regardless of which side of the ball you are standing. And once you are ready to release the first click, you should be focusing only on the meter and the ding, not the avatar. 

    If you want to play a few games, send me a friend invite.

    Joey, I hear what you are saying but it's not a suitable option considering many other golf games have implement LH Golfing so easily. Like I said, I enjoy playing this game for exactly what it's worth. I shouldn't expect more, but it's not that difficult to put in a LH Avatar.

    Try placing a mirror at the side of your screen at 90 degrees. and look in it...and everything will seem ok

    Man, you win for creativity and originality on that one. Awesome suggestion, I may actually give it a try.

    Was going to suggest that in my post but figured you'd think I was messing with you =)

    Still, except for the avatar movements, you can play the game without an avatar...give it a while and you'll get use to it I'm sure.  And if you really think about it, you don't look at yourself from behind the tee either.  Yes, it would be nice to get a left handed avatar, and pointing that out to WGT can only help...I've seen those complaints here for 3 years...so don't hold your breath.

    Left-handed avatars seem impossible since there are no right hand golf gloves in the store.

    Here is a post from a while back.  In it is a response from WGTNiv explaining, the left handed situation.

    And the meter will move from right to left, then?
