    Ok, I just gotta get this off my chest. I really enjoy this site and look forward to playing this game after work to unwind, really, even on my days off.  However, why oh why must "HEAVY" and "MODERATE" be the format set for wind conditions so much? In reality,  I know golf is played in heavy winds be it a PGA tournament or just a weekend romp.  However, in reality, if given the options to play golf were the same ones you posted in the 4 new weekly tournaments the past few weeks I would have quit!  Currently on the menu there are there are 13 free tournaments available to play. Six of which have wind set to heavy and 5 set to moderate, 2 others unsure because I W/D.  Weeks 48 and 49 were not much better either.This game has enough challenges already with the many different pin and green speed options that you can set for all the courses.  I dont mind playing with heavy or moderate wind conditions but setting either one in every tournament or over 50 % of them is beginning to make the game much less enjoyable and even boring.   Id rather have a high score because I didnt use the right club or used to much or not enough power. Not dependent on if I  put my arrow in the correct spot in the stream thats 16 degress to my left while trying to negotiate 20-31 mph winds!  Ok, I feel better! Thx

    Maybe it was an unusually wind week at WGT.

    High winds are hard to master, not sure of your skill level on WGT (I didn't look) but the punch shot will help in the high winds.

    The higher up you go in tiers the greater the wind blows. Legend has all Heavy wind Tourneys including the CTTH.

    Depends on how you look at it. All 4 regular free weekly are Heavy wind. The December free monthly are all heavy wind except the specials like the Sun Safe and the other one. The free CTTH "Challenge" that pays credits(not the sweeps) is heavy wind and so is the free Monthly CTTH "challenge"(not the sweeps) that pays credits is heavy wind. This week every one of the freebies I'll play in are heavy wind.

    Oh ok. I don't tend to play all the free ones. I play the RGs mostly which are a mixture.

    The OP mentions the freebies. I don't have the guts to play the RG's. ;-)
