For anyone stuck syncing their wallet. Create a runme.bat file in the bitcoin gold folder using the following, then save as a .bat file and run
bitcoin-qt.exe -server
addnode=109.192.23.101
...snip...
addnode=143.207.67.209
I just put all of this in the configuration file except for the "bitcoin-qt.exe -server" part, restart the qt and it started syncing.
This worked for me too.
