prevailing wind?

  aside from all my rants...I will remind the programmers at WGT...Having a prevailing wind is absolutely necessary...That is one of the main reasons golf courses are routed the way they are.  In particular...look at St. Andrews...They don't call the front 9 "out" and the back nine "in" for no particular reason.  The first nine is outbound from the clubhouse, and the back nine is headed back "in" toward the clubhouse.  You need to have a program set to where the wind covers the entire course in a particular direction...Not just random on each hole.  That is not realistic at all.

  Makes perfect sense to me too.

  Also have it so wind is constant during tournaments. It's terrible to have to deal with 25mph headwind on a 480 yard Par 4, while knowing that another player out there probably got the same, except with tailwind.

  I completely agree! Ive posted on that same  subject before , but of course when WE PLAYERS are right........ WGT  ignores us! Hows that for customer service???
