    Jimbog1964,

    Thanks for the info. Any help I can get to help me understand the wind a little better,

    will make this game a bit more fun for me. Thanks again.

    Marco129:

    For my clubs and balls, I use the following as a general rule of thumb:

    (Shots hit with full backspin)

    Straight against the wind, add 1 yd for every mph of wind.

    Wind from a 90 degree angle, aim 1 yd to the side for each mph of wind.

    Full tail wind, subtract 1 yd for every 2 mph of wind.

    These general general guides to get you started.

    Tweeking (as always) will be required.

    I hope this helps,

     - Mark

     

     

     

    Don't go by these. These do not into account air time so they will be way off in most instances and are just generally off. According to this, say @ 50 yards with a 20mph headwind one should hit 70yards? Not even. That formula doesn't even work @ 100yards.

    Also according to this, say @ 100 yards with a 10mph 90 degree side wind I should move the maker 10 yards against the wind? More like 10 ft.
