  Who's the clown that decides the tournament conditions? Do they have a perversion for heavy winds?

  I don't mind one or two comps in heavy winds but for Yancy's sake.

  March Unlimited St Andrews - Heavy Wind

  Week 13 Multi Round - Heavy Wind

  Week 13 Unlimited 9 Hole Jokemont - Heavy Wind

  Week 13  single 18 Hole Jokemont - Heavy Wind

  Week 13 Single 9 Hole St Andrews - Heavy Wind

  Doesn't leave much to the imagination does it? How about a little bit of calming of the stormy weather.

  Even all the ready go's I've played in last week were 99% heavy wind because the moderate conditions are as easy to find as rockin horse sh*t.

  If I face any more 30mph full head on winds on the 4th at St Andrews...I might need to call in the assistance of the US Military to launch my ball hard enough just to clear the rough off the front of the tee....then borrow one of their howitzers to reach the green.

  I agree too TBE...way to many comps at the moment with Heavy winds!  I complained about one of the comps last week or so, Heavy winds, Sideways on every hole except for the 8th at St.A., with the pin at the front...hmmm

  Remembered reading a post a few weeks back about someone complaining that the comps were too easy, with too many low scores winning all the time. Since then I've noticed the Heavy Winds on just about every Comp, but low scores are still winning though.

  St.A back 9 R/G has got low winds today.

  Cheers

  true...but it's only fast greens which are like putting in treacle. gotta be tournament. they should bring back championship greens....that would be a real challenge.

  Are you looking hard enough?  Every St Andrews Ready go i've entered for the past 3/4 days has been moderate wind.  18 holes anyway, don't know about front 9 or back 9
