  yeah and while you're at it why not have the usual junky bast*rds hiding in the gorse bushes out of there heads on vodka and smack on st andrews waiting for us to drive off so they can have a go at stealing our balls to sell to other golfers to buy their daily fix.

   

  lol

  Its not so easy off Legend tees Jessica,hitting 175 into a 27 cross wind is different than hitting 115

  The nice thing about heavy wind is what it can teach. Purposely hitting very early, or quite late to counteract the effect is fun. No one does it better than Bollox.

  I'm not saying I don't enjoy the high winds because I do....but just not in all of the weekly tourneys that's all...I get bored quite easily.

  & yeah it learns you to hit left and right of ding shots too.

   

  oh.....and can we have some decent music when alt shot games go back into the lobby awaiting the dc'd players return?

  i'm thinking more of this stuff please :)

  winds are cool and all, but when it out thinks you and switches in flight is wrong.

  well as much as i'd like to agree there i have to say that's just WGT trying to make the wind more realistic and i can see why the wind's allowed to act that way.

  wind does have the capacity to change in an instant....it's just unlucky when it throws the ball further away from the hole...but it can have the opposite effect of pushing it closer to the hole.

  it nearer 20-30 yards then 60, 
  
  But your right its not easy off the black tees, its not easy off any distance, but it is possible as you well know as many of the great legends liek yourself still shot low 30's round there

  My Grief with these winds as well is that I can be hitting 3 wood from 200 30 against into 2nd at Andrews and the next player that plays can be hitting 89 yards 30 wind behind,How can this be right,Show a consistent wind for all and then it will be fair,All i hear is "Oh its the luck of the draw" Yeah right .Pffft off,
