wind direction changes on zoom ?

  Can anyone confirm my thinking on the wind direction when one hits the zoom button.

  E.G. second shot to #18 STA have 93 yards and in normal view the wind is 26 mph from 3 o'clock, however when I zoom in the wind direction is 26 mph from 12 o'clock.

  Does this mean that near the hole the wind is more against but at impact the wind is right to left ?

  Anyway I hit 97 and was way short and left.

  Am still a little bit confused as I aimed way right, about 8 yards right and dinged it.

  hi

  yes, wind changes because your camera angle changes. it should not be as dramatic as that but I assume it is possible.
