Winds & the overuse of Heavy Winds

  I am not a complainer...Yet I feel that the winds seem to blow but one way in stroke tournament play.If it is to be a constant, then you are not using virtual play to mimic real life play.I am aware that St.Andrews, Pebble beach and there are others where wind is definately a constant, but even those sometimes have a peaceful normal day.Light rain is often accompanied by light winds.I would not want an adjustment where it's totally gone, no more than I do, overly common.

  Is it asking too much, for a little more variation?My hats off to you though WGT, this game is not one you can say is easy,..gOOdgOlfin'2ya!

  Can we get 60+ mph winds something to try. Hitting 400+ drives & reaching par 4`s of the tee sounds fun
