  How on earth can you trust anything in this game...distance/wind...when St.Andrews #1 from the back tees is 375 yards with the pin location in the front and the same hole is 375 yards with the pin at the back.

  To get the real yardage of the hole, hover over your tee off on the mini map.  You will soon find out that a lot of holes are different.

  That pin is actually 355 yards.

  Like in RL, there's only one scorecard length per tee on each hole, regardless of the pin positions.

  True here for Par4s and Par5, while Par3 always show the true length.

  Also are there different concepts for scorecard length:

  The "old" courses have scorecard length measured to one of the pins, while "newer" courses have a random "center of the green".
