What about wind speed

  Hi there,

       I realize that this may bring about so called "sour grapes" but I do believe it to be an honest question.

      Why is it, that when one reaches Tour Master, or more to the point Legend status, when one plays in weekly tournies...how is it that the wind speed is almost 98% of the time, the wind speed is ALWAYS HEAVY....?????

     gees, even on the pro tours, they do not ALWAYS have to play in HEAVY wind conditions..... not complaining, as some will most likely say. But it can't be a HEAVY wind 95 to 98 percent of the time...we playing om Jupiter or something...lol

  Just a question.... (and I know I'm gonna get beat up because, yes, it sounds like sour grapes....but it's not...just asking

  I'm not a violent person so I won't beat you up lol.

  I agree that the wind is usually heavy and I assume this is because imagine how low the scores could be with lower winds - certainly a challenge for me.

  .. .. Well I play a few Ready Go Tournaments through the week and on averages there's very little wind on a % of tournaments held .. .. 

  .. .. Perhaps WGT need to swing a few of the ratings around to make it a little more evenly based.. ..

  winds get rotated in the weeklies......there's a selection of wind conditions in rg's from low, mod & heavy.

  as you improve through tiers the winds in ranked rounds kinda increase but nothing you shouldn't be unused too.

  i used to hate heavy winds....now i don't really bother about them....just keep practising away and you'll get used to heavy winds.

  also a heavy wind game round st andies or RSG will be stronger winds than the heavy winds round bp or oakmont.

  .. .. There's nothing in the winds on the Ready Go's this month or last, save for a CTTH at Royal St.George.. .. 

  .. .. WGT seem for the life of me to want everyone as quickly as possible to be a Legend or Tour Legend,,, or perhaps to make people happy n content with the ludicrous scores that they are now achieving.......
