  What I use and it's not on everything because various situations and type of lie make a difference.

  20-25 - 5% more yards

  25-30 - 7.5% more yards

  30-40 - 10% more yards

  40-50 - 20% more yards

  So a 100 yard shot would be 105, 107.5, 110 and 120.  

   

  Most conditions and lies it gives me an accurate shot.  But I am just a hack legend.

  commonguymd:

  25-30 - 7.5% more yards

  30-40 - 10% more yards

  40-50 - 20% more yards

  So a 100 yard shot would be 105, 107.5, 110 and 120.  

  Very close to what I use. 5, 10, 11.75, and 30 % in order. 

  Anyway (I may be wrong on this.) Keep in mind that each is a range. We don't know the exact coverage. I'd say using Commonguy's percentages as a low end, and mine as a top would get you pretty close. 

  There's also the rumor that about 2 months ago, WGT added some variety to rough conditions, so that we'd get a "flyer" every now and again. Adds some realism, especially now that the square grooves are being banned.

  I can't believe half of those ideas posted above.

  They were given as a rough beginning point and came with advice on how all the other factors would also affect shots. No need to be snippy with people trying to help another player.

  D'oh, sorry, forgot who I was speaking to...
