So I created a formula that can judge wind coming from any direction. In creating this formula it has changed how I thought wind is understood in this game.
This is what I thought...
1. The longer the distance to the hole the "more" the wind will effect the shot?
2. You can look at ( ) mph wind ^ or v as the same additional or subtraction when calculating distance to hit. basically saying 10 mph at 12 o clock will come up with the same number at 10 mph at 6 o clock?
Basically the deal is my putting is spot on. But unfortunately my approach game is so suspect these days I am not getting a chance to get many putts within 10 ft. mostly 15-20ft. I may get 3 putts per 9 holes from within 10 ft. Which is disappointing cause I have myself making basically anything within 12ft.
Soo... Here is what my formula would show for these situations. All 12 o clock wind.
125 yards - 5mph - -2.5
125 yards -10mph - -5
125 yards - 20mph - -10
225 yards - 5mph - -4.5
225 yards - 10mph - -9
225 yards - 20mpg - -18
How well do those numbers stack up against yours?
Also does forward wind effect the ball more because of roll outs? Should I have a different calculation for forward wind and back wind?
I know there are so many wind threads. I have read a majority of them. Any help or advise would be great. Otherwise Ill keep practicing and trying to continue to make long putts. lol
