  I dont understand why when i play a ready go at st andrews the wind is 30mph plus....i just played the front 9 in a multi game and the wind was 18mph sometimes 20mph and i shoot 30.....Then i play a ready go and i struggle to make par, i'm not a chump i can score well but this is crazy IMO...Also why cant we see the conditions before we commit our 100 credits   .Anyone know why the wind is so bad in these?

  The wind does make a big difference but the conditions are really the same for St. Andrews Ready-go....The Front 9 is always Heavy wind with very fast green.  The back 9 is always Heavy wind with Fast Green.  The full 18 is moderate wind with very fast green.  The conditions really don't change for the ready go tourneys until they change them around.  It's been nearly a couple of months since they changed the conditions.

  I think you might be better off trying your luck in a casino. At least, at times, they actually pay dividends. lol

  Why do you even bother replying when you couldn't even answer what i asked...geez

  So whats your answer to not being able to see the conditions before we spend our credits or dont you read the whole thing....

  You're right ... but i'm really not the gambling type, So I don't really have an answer for you. lol.

  I can read quite well. I can write even better. Regardless..  I find people who are excited by gambling to be primarily less than average in terms of intelligence quotient and thereby feel it is justified to poke at them... it's like poking at bears!

  Just as WGT does to the majority of its users!

  If you go to the tournament page and click the ready go tab, then click each tournament it will tell you the conditions. It will not if you go to the ready go tournament menu to actually select one to play in from the game screen.

  The wind is the same wheter it is a 30 mile an hour wind or a 4 mile an hour wind...

  You still have to allow the right amount of push and pull...It ain't a scam,it's just hard...lol...

  Practice in those 30 mile an hour winds before you commit to thinking you can beat some one that did pratice in those conditions...You said youself that you can do good in 18 or so mph's but not the 30+...Me neither(btw)...I like the normal mph's...

  But I practiced in the high winds and didn't do bad but I decided to just go with what I know and stay at one speed...lol...To much work involved in that and not enough fun...

   

  Cool game and wgt if ya listening...I been gone and just logged back in and I just have to say "I reall like what you've done with the Place"...I knew I wasn't wasting my money...LOL...See Ya...
