   canine, you change so much some of  your answers with many edits not easy to follow you with that, i'm not ben johnson on steroids. lol

  By the way, i never said the wind is umplayable as a tour  legend, i just say the wind is more important than in  legend tier.

  And i can say again i see the  2 versions in alternate and matchplay game, if i'm the higher tier rank the wind will be less important than if a tour legend is involve in the same game.

  But still playable without to much difficulty, not a tornado wind

  I'm sorry. I was editing while you were posting..LOL.

  Your English is fine, Michel.  I am just confused by what some people are referring to when they say STRONG wind. Do they mean,15-17 headwind on every hole except the par 3 hole where you get the 18-21 mph tailwind and you need to use the putter to drive?  LMAO !!!

  We need Garypinhunter to look into this, he could enter the tiers on this chart for clarity -

  Well, if I want it to stay I have to fix my shadow onto the ground with nails of steel.

  Part of the statement is true...the greens are 13. The winds are the same as everyone else's, unless you play a tournament or game set specificaly with heavy winds. The standard wind-set is Moderate for TL.

  Whoever told you this is, well...BS'ing you, Jiggsie

  No they weren't. When was the last time you saw low or no wind tournaments as a TL? Don't hurt yourself thinking about that because I know you haven't.  :-)

  Beaufort Scale is moot here - This games does not use wind models or physics of any sort.

  IMO I think what the TL was telling the OP was that if a lower tier is playing a TL in alternate or MP the wind speed will be moderate, whereas against a lower tiered player it may well be low wind, so i don't think he was trying to deceive him.
