Hello everyone.
I know that there are a few very good tools to help players in calculating how the wind will affect your shot. My problem is that all those tools are Windows based, and I can't use them (like I can't use VGG Caddy, for the same reasons: no big deal, Shot Pal and Putter Pal are just fine!).
I'm bold enough to think I could write something usable on mac, but my big problem is that I don't have a good set of formulas and multipliers in order to calculate the compensation for the wind and possibly the elevation change.
Some time ago I found a post on the forums with a formula that stated something like: wind * distance/100 , with the addition of a * 0.7 if the wind was in the 45° angle and not straight or cross.
Is there any other possible formula that I could use? If not, I'll stick with those numbers, because they seems quite right, but In order to make a good app, I'd like to be sure.
Thanks for all the suggestions you'll made.
Stefano
