  Why is it that every time I play a single game with high winds the bloody wind is in my face and when I get to the par 3's it's at the back 16-19 mile an hour. I get to the par 5's and guess what? In my face. I can play 20 games and every time in my face.

  Is it me, pjschaub

  Murphy's Law #1
  If something can go wrong it will go wrong.

  Murphy's Law #2
  When something does go wrong (see law #1) it will do so at the worst possible time.

  heres a laugh for ya - just played the best of par5 f9 ready go - had 7 headwinds all ranging from 14 to 27mph and 2 side/headwinds of 17 and 22.

  if thats not all i had a bunker shot of 115y from that bethpage b9 par5 - hit my 125y pw and it went 124y. is that even physically possible?

  anyways reached 2 greens the whole 9 lol - never really had a chance hahaha

  its not just u lol

  No it isn't just you: 238 yard drive

  I'm just waiting to attempt the road hole, where I usually get the same sort of wind and struggle to reach the green in 2 shots. lol

  I don't really mind par 3s into the wind-- I actually hate crosswinds the most on those holes. But yeah, par 5s are annoying with 30mph into you. Not only that, but if it's a tournament, you're thinking the next guy will have 30mph tailwind!
