  Thank you Curtis.

  Scott has tweak the wind distance, I have tested it and it does very well.  I loaded the file up so the link on here and at my website will give you the new file.

  When I started this I was thinking of Pros to Legends.  If your a Champion or Tour Legend you have already got your own calculations likely.   Gary

  Is there a .xls file with the wind tweaks?

  You can download it from here in .xls format until Gary makes it available on the Pinhunters website Mr FW.

  I only have one thing to say.

  The spreadsheet program a great effort scott,surely going to help out many wgt players in days to come.The interface is simple and very easy to understand.I have noticed that wind bug too but i see you have sorted that out in the latest version.

  I am sure with your IT talent and attention to detail,this spreadsheet is going to be as useful as Bilko's or Kat's calculators.

  Keep up the good work,i have always admired how you try your best to help out the WGT community.

  Cheers VR, but Gary created it, I just hit it with a hammer in a few places.  : )
  
  @SlicedPepper, you play the game your way and we'll play it ours. Some enjoy doing the maths, others prefer winging it freestyle. Enjoyment & tolerance.

  Fantastic thank you. 

   

  You wouldn't happen to know how much backspin amount changes loss of yards on approach shots, or be able to direct me to a thread discuss such by any chance? 

   

  I've noticed that If I do FBS I get a significant amount of lost yardage, but if I do slightly less than FBS I got much less lost yardage, but still losing some. I imagine this doesn't scale linearly, is there a way to pinpoint this? I have found this regardless of wind conditions. 

   

  Also, since you seem to be so apt at excel, is it possible to relate columns of data to each other like you can in access or is that strictly an access ability?
