  Hitting my 4 iron of tee

  Had distance figured out

  There's a 20 plus mph coming straight at me at 12 o'clock 

  I ring the bell shot ends up 14 yards to the right in bunker 

  How does this happen

  Only thing I can figure is was playing a player 8 lvls higher

  Noted this before when playing higher much higher lvl players 

  Shots or miss hits when dialed close

  Anyway very very disappointing!!!

  (Taking notes)

  When playing against a higher-level player, a headwind will send your ball 14 yards to the right...

  Appreciate the tip, buddy! 👍

  A HW from 12 at the tee could be a diagonal wind from the green view...always check green view camera...there's my good deed for the day. Cheers

  AFAIK, Levels, as your L90, have nothing to do with the game's conditions. Tiers, OTOH, like your "Master", may have, as the game becomes harder while commencing.

  If you're playing a higher tier player, his harsher game conditions may affect you, too, as you're playing the same game.

  I checked before shot it was directly at 12 o'clock or straight in my face sort of speak 

  Ya I  would like to think everyone is playing the same conditions 

  I assume that WGT will give you a bad shot once in awhile just because that's golf

  If shot would of been 14 yrds short or long it won't  have been as big a deal

  But hitting straight into the wind you wouldn't think it would of went straight as I did all other things right
