  I haven't played CTTH in ages, but, oh my, I have. The newer players use the free clubs & balls, and the longest holes require the help of the tail-wind along with the ability to hit driver off the deck. But yes, WGT can control almost anything  :-}

  surely when you run a business you should listen to customers, so why is nothing being done about this. been playing in country club tournaments today at st andies in heavy wind, some people have been driving the green from there tee shot with tail wind and others are still 100 yards of the green in to a head wind, can anyone please explain how we are playing on a level playing field. the only fair way is to make the  wind the same for everyone. i think on the single play tournament's, and country club tournaments this would be possible and fair. on the unlimited play tournaments i think it should be left the same other wise the game would become to easy as you could just keep taking notes of the shots and replaying them. something has to be done. people spend a lot of money on this game and some rounds you dont even stand a chance before you even start

  The wind is a complete joke... Am I supposed to accept that a 25mph headwind will hold up a golf-ball by 1m in every 5m it travels when the balls total travel distance is 50m???? Ridiculous!!!... This is just 1 of many complaints i have regarding WGT and this game, i could list them all but really, what's the point?... The game is obviously run by a mafia that only care about the cash they're getting.

  Yep I keep track of winds awhile back to see if they are truly random. My little experiment that lasted for 10 days( playing at least 2 rounds a day ) showed winds to be around 60% head winds,15%side winds,15%quatering wins and 10% tail winds. These are rough %'s. If these are the same for everybody then I guess you could call them random.

  If you consider random to mean equal head, tail,side and quartering winds then no way are the random.
