    They should change the name of this game to "Guess Your Best". That would more accurately describe the experience of trying to figure out what the wind might do to your shot or how far a club might hit from one shot to the next. I can handle the mechanics of a swing meter and I realize that every sim golf game takes time to master (no pun intended), especially the putting and chipping. But my God - the wind, as often as not, seems to have either no effect on a shot, the opposite effect, or too much effect. Clubs hit a certain distance all game and then a perfectly stuck shot comes up 15 yds short. WTF? No consistency .

    Precisely. The wind is a lot like in the real game. Sometimes gusty. Sometimes not. Have you ever hit a shot at your local course, allowing for the wind, only to have it stop a milli-second after you struck the ball? I think this is just part of the built-in realism. And Squat, it looks like you're doing okay for being on here only 6 days. Especially with the starter clubs! You'll be in the 50's by February...
