  That's why I think this is a completely reasonable solution.

  Regards

  Fabien.......I know what'll get WGT around the negotiating table........just enforce a Belgian Chocolate Embargo on the USA and don't lift it till they come around.

  

  Can't you hear Icon kicking and screaming at the WGT front door already???

  *** and while we're at it......Germany should impose a Haribo ban......yupps.....Haribos are German...founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel Sr. The company headquarters are in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

  tbe

  Good idea TBE... and Italy can impose a pizza ban!

  If you want to konw my opinion just re-read the comment who sarts this thread.

  Of course I'm being subjective because this problem involves me and affects me too, but I think that is more than unfair, is not something that they will be leting us to do, is not a favor from wgt. They are "stealing" our "prize", the qualification for a really important tournament, and we don't want the material prize, only the feeling for having done our job in a very good way.

  Thank you specially Fabian for starting this thread, and all the players that understands how we feel and support us.

  Walter.

  WGT gets the money from the credit cards of those Countries that are not eligible to get prizes, all Countries pay the same, but only some elected ones can get prizes. So not fair! And besides that, some tournaments are open to all Countries but once the qualifications are done only some elected ones can get to the finals? Maybe someday there will be some other golf game for the rest of the World, our "B series" Countries, and we'll all leave WGT to the USA "gods".

  WGT, Why did you let non eligible players play to begin with? Knowing full well they could not win prizes ? But you let them play why ? Now you won't even give them the glory of competing in the final Why ? WGT let them qualify then wgt should let them play in the final plain and simple. This whole thread is 100% backing these players to give them the right to play. Not one negative post here and that is rare on any post that has ever been written in the forums. You can not tell me the great WGT can't add these players to the 9 players that can win prizes. Everyone does something wrong in life some people try and correct there mistakes and some don't care. I hope you as WGT realize you made one and correct it by letting these players compete with the best without winning prizes.

  Starsandros:

  I totally agree with you Fabian, and I support you at 100%.

  If we can't have the prizes, that doesn't mean that we can't compete with the best players just for fun.

  I'm not saying this because I'm a victim too, but just because anybody with a little of common sense can understand that who qualifies deserve to play in the final event.

  We are not asking the moon, is not asked to violate international laws of Countries. It only asks of playing golf, after having qualifying. Not for awards, but for personal satisfaction to compete with other "champions" (perhaps some are even friends - fellow CC, etc., etc., etc.).

  My full support for genorb and  Starsandros .

  (in addition to the embargo of Belgian chocolate ... and beer, I suggest that the embargo for pasta, pizza, cheese, salami and wine on the part of Italy lol :D)

  P. S. I apologize for my bad English, if there are any errors please contact Google :D
