  Can anyone explain how a PW which is 115 yards (+Callaway balls,adding xtra 2/3. not spin ones, ) travells 110 with full swing + no b/spin, to a green (Oakmont 5) which is also downhill of 3 feet, with 10 mph tailwind.???

  How many times does this happen in a game, should WGT come out and say wind is APROX not true value, could be 5 mph lower or higher, its just hit and miss.???

  Or is it deviation?

  And also has anyone else noticed game all slow, and stuttery, greens especially today?

  IMHO the wind on here is totally f4cked up and well false.

  how is is possible i can hit my 60 lob wedge it's full 60 yrds into a 15mph full in the face head on wind into an elevated green (with uphill slope) with 54 yrds to the pin and the ball travels 59 yrds then bounces and rolls forward1 yrds even though I put some bs on the callaway.

  obviously the false winds don't effect all players.

   

  and before anyone starts yelling "new legend can't cope" rofl...I was facing the same lying wind indicators from hack to TM tier...which I posted about on a number of times.

  They are aware of it - unless they are programmers fallen from the turnip truck. But, hey they have now issued new clubs so all is forgiven...
