  I'm at St. Andrews (Legend level) and playing in to a 20mph wind.  I select a club rated to go 160 yds., hit a normal full shot, and the darn thing flies 169 yds, into some brush.  NO WAY in real life would that happen.  The physics of this game need to be tuned to make it:

    1.  Believable

    2.  Predictable

    3.  True to life

  This game is hard enough without at least being all of the above.  Thanks for letting me rant.

  I hear you. I was 245 yards out, decided to use my 220 iron to lay up, and the stupid ball went in the cup.

  Perhaps you have as yet to play St. Andrews in person. If you do, you will notice the wind there is like no other. You will also notice that most all locals & caddie suggestions play the ball on the ground to avoid the wind as much as possible. Predictability with the wind there doesn't exist.

  On the front 9 the par 5 hole 5 ive had my 3 wood rated 240 go 316 into a 20mph wind so anything is possible there and remember ITS ONLY A GAME not real life 

  (i doubt u could stop a 3 iron 248 with a 15mph tailwind almost dead IRL either lol)
