Re: Wind, Yardage and Breaks

  Aloha WGT and all players.

  Just a thought on the wind, yardage and break information we get in the game when we play. Sometimes it's correct but most of the time it's incorrect more or less.

  Why have such information at all?

  If it ain't correct it has no purpose whatsoever. Then the game turns into a guessing game and that's not what it's intended to be I guess.

  Any thoughts?

  If I'm lining up a shot from 200yds out on a Par3, with a 30mph cross-wind, I'd say it would be MUCH more of a guessing game if they didn't show me the wind speed & direction!!

  I use the wind speed, direction, yardage and green breaks to work out every shot, and manage to get reasonably close. Can't imagine how the heck I'd play a single shot without that info.
