Re: Pre Tee off page assistance...

  Could the pre tee off page indicate wind speed/direction, (a small number beside a small circle logo with a radii line in it to indicate direction) for ALL games on wgt... and 'green speed'. (a time saver). This would remove the need to load the final tee off page if you dont like the setup for practice hits or any unlimited entry game. Until you are able to programme a practice green and driving range on wgt, the practice of constantly logging onto an unlimited entry game for some practice shots is common among myself and associate wgt golfers.

  Thankyou for your wgt site... many pleasant and golf addictive hours here.

  Generally the game will show you wind conditions and green speed. but not wind direction.

  There is Low, Moderate & Heavy winds. either one of these will be in a random direction once entering the game.

  ...and the wind direction may vary from entry to entry, including the same and different players.

  Edit:

  These informations are not visible on entry from the main tournament page but in the game client.

  Go to the Tournaments section below the center and select the desired tournament. After entering the tourney (which is possible there, too) you will see wind and green indicated but not the relevant tees.

  Wind does seem to be completely random in terms of direction.

  For example if I am hitting into a head wind from the tee on hole 1, even if I am hitting in a completely dfferent direction on hole 2 from the tee (in relation to where it is regarding hole 1) you could still be hitting into a head wind.

  Rumour has it that long par 5s have prevailing headwind while Par 3s have tailwind and, once in a while, a gale from either side.
