  this still boggles my mind

  playing legends makes the wind work, 80% of the time

  playing with anyone else....... its a SWAG

  so when do use use a SWAG or actually play the wind

  yes i know the wind doesnt blow through the trees but playing treeless 

  courses and you have a 20 mph crosswind, play for it and the ball goes where you hit it

  kind of a bummer.

  pls pls anyone?

  The wind in this game is a crap shoot. Sometimes it's right and most times wrong, just a big guess and a gamble.

  I am a retired programmer. I see the variations in the wind, YOU CAN NOT nail the wind speeds do to the deliberate manipulation by the programmers. Which as a player is really beginning to piss me off. I need to stop playing this game. FYI, it is designed to get you to buy things, period! The more items/credits you spend on items the more accurate the program variables become. Note players scores and equipment. The ones shooting in the low 50's have it all, clubs, balls, clothes, etc....It is a business, there for controlled like any business!
