  yj where do you get this stuff?from alice in wonderland?

  How about from experienced Legends better than me in actual play AND seeing it firsthand, TM boy. Skype's a pretty powerful info sharing tool when playing.

  The wind would have played about 9-10 mph being at 30 degrees. 181 - 10 = 171 yards.

  So your saying a 25 MPH wind is going to drop 15 MPH at  the 11:00 position B.S. at the most it drops to 19-20 MPH. It's 30degrees from 90 not 180

  DON"T THINK SO

  So your saying there may be some tweaking going on? No way!!!!  Used to score real well in high winds, loved them (I know sick ***) anything over 22-24 mph is a crapshoot anymore it seems. Anyone care to start a thread about the 50% increase on dead evil wicked lipouts as of late? Sorry could'nt resist. JB

  LOL. This from a real long time player that is the farthest thing from a tin foiler there is. Believe it, folks, weird stuff is up. 

  Testify, JB!   :-D

  Agreed, I loved the high winds, I'm sick too. Now it is Katie bar the door, no idea what will happen. Most of the tourneys in the new CC I joined are on very fast greens, I made it to Legend putting on these, now they are a damn joke. Either stops .02 short (again) or goes 3 feet past. Low scorers, you are my heroes. I can't do it anymore, but it's all good. The evening AS games are great, and are the reason I still hang around. Roll the dice folks, you may win one.

  Not try ing to be argumentiative but helpful.

  Quote: "wind at my back at about 30 degrees"

  Most people would calculate 30 Degrees closer to 8:00 ocock.

  I like most calculate degrees by angle not subtraction.

  

  This is what the 15 mph wind drop was based on...

  You didn't mention in your OP that you were Subtracting 30 degrees from 90 which would give you a 60 degree wind, which to me is closer to 10:00 oclock not 11:00 oclock and  IMO at that  you or anyone would need to have hit it around 175 yds to 176yds with bottom. I think even at 11 O'clock hitting it 163 would leave you short and you are right based on your 11:00 oclock I woudn't drop it 15mph for that. 

  I know I haven't been on here for years and I am by far one not of the best players but  do get pretty close in high winds and others using my figures most of the time. All of which I got by trying and reformulating what others have posted in the forums. Do winds sometimes not do what you expect on here...You Bet, but that is only occasionally...But in no way would I have hit that shot 163 yds unless it was almost a direct 25mph tail wind.
