  Just a quick question about the wind, I can't seem to find this info anywhere. The wind indicator, is the direction in regard to your position on the course or is it based on the mini-map? For example, the map is north to south with the green at the top, I managed to get east of the green, and the wind indicator is showing wind at my back. If it's based on the map it would be a south to north wind, where I would aim left of the hole, but if its based on my current position (wind at my back) I would need to adjust my shot accordingly. Hopefully I am clear with what I'm trying to say lol

  perhaps I should clarify a bit more, when I teed off the wind was at my back, I pushed my shot wide and ended up next to the green. Now I'm shooting perpendicular to my original shot yet the wind is still blowing from behind me.

  I think it was just a glitch. The wind seems to change with my position, I don't know why it didn't on that hole.

  Sometimes the camera angle is not from behind you but you have to presume the wind is as it states in the direction from you to the pin.

  If it was from behind you and you went right of the pin but the exact length the wind would normally then be from left to right and yes, you would have to adjust the marker to the left.

  Sometimes the wind changes from where you hit the ball to where it landed. Check the wind from the green end as well as where your hitting from. It could be swirling. But not 90 degrees.
