  Careful Paul he takes it seriously. Either that or he's had a personality bypass. Using a ruler to 'measure' for wind movement? Who'd have thought? Wonder if you can wire an anemometer into the pc or monitor?

  Actually I think Young46 recommends that method.

  Young 46 has a video tutorial on the subject.  Use it for credit tourneys.  Kind of slow for fun matches.

  Right I've seen the video.  I agree it's time consuming.  My friends and I always use a 90 second clock as we are chatting, and enjoying the interaction of AS or MP.  That way no one is rushed.

  Hmmm last night in a game of alt shot, I had the weirdest shot I have ever had since playing the game.

  Kiawah #2 partner drove to rough on the right 25% rough. I decided to play safe, to the left of the green for an easy wedge. 4i using the zoom-in-view of the green, ensuring the marker was as intended.

  Changed to the 4i, saw the marker ahead and on the mini map, hit and it went right. not OB bit caught the sand to the very right of the bunker. It was like a shank.

  Today I decided to play a CC event, uneventful to #10. Hit a 3W from the tee, gentle breeze l-r , club check that 3W was selected on taking the club away, hit slightly before the ding and the ball shot way right OB with the power if driver.

  Seldom do I quit, but I would rather not play when shite like that occurs. WGT loses out in the end as I will not play for a few days. I have seen some odd results lately.....getting to the point it is not worth playing.

  Ya, seem some very strange shots lately.  Was just now playing PB B9.  Had a 79 yd slightly uphill approach to #15, slightly helping 12-14 mph l-to-r sidewind.  Aimed well left, dinged the 80 yd wedge, expecting ball to land just beyond and right of the pin then roll back down the slope.  Instead, the 80 yd wedge went 91 yds on the fly and landed in the bunker behind the hole...head scratcher for sure.

  I agree it's time for a break.  The game is deteriorating fast and I don't think Topgolf gives a shite.
