    St. Andrews plays one direction on the front nine and the opposite direction on the back nine. If the wind isn't variable, the back nine will have the same wind for every hole. Talking the real course, here.

    Winds on here are random. One round you might get headwind on every hole or tailwind or a god mix. It all depends on luck.

    Been in a few RGs on St A's lately and whichever way the winds blowing, I was wondering are they the same for all 50 players or is it 'pot luck' whether you get cross / tail / head ?? .....Andy

    Pot luck. You can get the worst possible wind on every hole, while the next guy gets favorable winds on every hole. That's why I stay away from heavy wind ready-go's. Too much of a lottery for my liking.

    Thx for clearing that up....

    Does seem a bit unfair, should be the same for all.  imo...Andy

    It's not the same for everyone in real life so why should it be on here?

    Wondered who'd be the 1st to say that :)..

    Just thought it would be a better test to see who could shoot best under the same conditions ? ..But hey, I don't mind..invariably finish top 10 anyway...Andy

    It's a simple programming task.

    If hole == par 5 OR score == good

        wind = headwind

        deviation = maximum

    else

        leave poor sucker alone

    play low wind RGs/tourneys...see how you stack up...low winds won't affect the outcome, IMO.
