I'm looking forward to the update and having everyone playing similar winds for each round. As it is now, I play all four rounds the first weekend unless the winds are really high. But in doing so, there is less of a tournament feel and more of just trying to post a good score and see how it holds up. With the new wind consistencies, I think we will see more players (I'll be one) able to spread out the rounds through the week, watching scoreboards more closely, and able to not fear of waiting to play the last day and catching crazy high winds that others did not. An even playing field for all! Very excited!. Is this definitely coming soon?

Well... the update is supposed to arrive on PS4 & XB1 at the end of the week. I hope that they can hold that deadline!
As far as the TGCT-tours are concerned, I think I remember someone saying that things are going to change with the June-tournaments.

As far as the TGCT-tours are concerned, I think I remember someone saying that things are going to change with the June-tournaments. The wind change will take effect immediately - we're already set up for that to happen - so once HB turns it on, it's a go. Not sure if it'll need a new week and newly created events for it to take full effect. The changes in June are more in line with future proofing a bit better than we initially did with our flights while addressing some issues that have been brought to our attention by the members. The current Euro and PGA tours will be unaffected. Everything else is getting a mini-makeover.

If the info is in another thread, I'm sorry.
So, does this mean Rd 1 is like 0-5, Rd 2 6-10, Rd 3 11-15 and so forth? Rather than like it is now, generally 0-7 between 9-11 am and pm cst and then incredibly windy at the other times during the day?

I thought i read somewhere the person who sets up the event can set up the winds? Either way its all good. I think i'd prefer random so no one complains to you guys about the wind.

I'm sorry if I'm being ignorant (I haven't followed TGC forums from the very beginning), but if it's random already, how can it be the same for everyone? I advocated in another thread (somewhere) that during the official tourneys the winds should be similar for all players involved.

I advocated in another thread (somewhere) that during the official tourneys the winds should be similar for all players involved. Each hole will have a random wind within a certain range. So regardless of when you play it, that hole will have the same wind range (and prevailing direction I'm led to believe). Wind will not be set by the Tourney creator. Gusts are still in. So basically now when you get to the first tee and the wind blows between 9 and 12 mph, you can be certain it's doing so for all players across all systems (assuming we do some things on our end correctly when setting up the events) at any point during the event - be it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc...
