  /puts on tinfoil visor (not hat)

   

  Does anyone experience holes that have tendencies with winds?   Literally 90 of my last 100 times on 13 oakmont my wind has been pointed @ 11 on a clock. 

  5th at st andrews I have not once had a wind between 9:30 and 2:30 on a clock in a RG in a month.

  7th hole in the kiawah CTTP it is left to right wind 100% of the time.

  anyone else?

  edit- kinda funny, the day after making this I had both a tailwind on 5 sta and 2 sidewinds on 13 oak, guess the visor broke the curse.

  I've given up on the wind indicator because most of the time it's either unreliable or totally false....especially on st andrews.

  Only thing i pay attention is the direction... the wind speed i pay relatively no attention to. I've been playing that way for well over a month now and it works for me.

  It's not always in the same direction but I've tracked and have had some sort of headwind during the last 43 Readys Gos on STA 9.  This seems to be the only hole that's stuck on Ground Hog's Day for me.

  Seems to me  the wind is nearly always pointed either at 8 or 4 o'clock on StA #2. Don't think I've ever seen a head or tail wind, only a cross.
