  The Great Aussie Avatar debate is on again and thanks Supranoz for raising the issue again. Like all Aussies I want to be able to wear our great colours when playing this great game. Why is WGT denying us Aussies the priveledge to wear our colours on this site. WGT is happy to take our money just not happy to support our push for a uniform to replace some outdated avatars that are available. Dont get me wrong im happy for the countries that have there nations colours available. But if you really are the WORLD golf tour and not a 3 nation tour which is how it is viewed then please allow Aussies and other world teams the priveledge to wear our Countries colours.

  All I can add to this discussion is.....why not make the stars red then remove the extra one. Job done and much improved. No thanks required,  its a pleasure to help out.

  Hey "russelltoaster".......I VOTE for WGT giving you Aussies a couple of GREAT LOOKING "Avatars".......with your national colors!!!  And besides....as a LEGEND, I think you "deserve" it!

  This is excellent, there are some of us Aussies who are just not thinking of ourselves, i would love to see all countries that play this great game get there own colours, im no computer whiz but how hard is it to get some uniforms done,

  This is great to seepeople talking about this issue and I mean all countries who play this great game. WGT you will make money from this as avatars are not free and from a public relations view people will take the view that this is a WORLD game played with no bias to your country of origin. I love this game and tell people about it all the time but I do only tell people its a golf game its not a WORLD golf game until every person has the same opportunities as each other. So flick a few switches knock over any stumbling blocks and address this avatar issue so it can become a WORLD game. And to all the supporters of this issue speak up and keep on writing until we get some action

  Yeah, WE do know.........it's "down under"......a 15 hour flight from where I live.  But, I would LOVE to take fly to AUSTRALIA for a 2 week vacation!!!  I've never been.

  I counted approx. 75 different AVATARs that are available in the Pro Shop.  And some are going for 800 credits.  And personally, I don't care for those "loudmouth" avatars....but, everyone has different tastes in attire.  It does seem like (at times) when I'm playing a CTTH challenge or with other players...too many members are dressed close to the "same".  More "tasteful" designs would (I believe) market well to members.

  Hey, if WGT can do those "loudmouth" Avatars.....surely they can come up with some NEW ones.......some for (at least) the most populated NATIONS in the World.

  Looking at the list of most populated Nations in the World (on Wikipedia)....here are a few:  #3 United States.....#22 United Kingdom.......#35 Canada......#52 Australia.  There are a total of (242) Nations in the World.  OK, that's your geography lesson for today....lol.  It would be "interesting" to know, how many WGT members there are from each Nation represented on WGT.  Guess we could go to the "community" section and type in whatever Nation...and see how many members are listed. 

  It does seem like it would be pretty EASY to create an AUSTRALIAN Avatar.....I'm all for it.  Hey, maybe they wouldn't charge you guys (in Australia) more than 800 credits too.......geezzzzzz.  Like the "toaster" said, this is "World Golf Tour"......and that's a LOT of Nations, not just a handful......just my opinion though.
