Thanks I will have to check out his streams then. Definitely do so, I watch him play whenever he is streaming and I'm home. He's the real deal here just as he was in TW. I've learned quite a bit about some of the little things just by watching him lately. Hopefully I'll catch him for some live practice rounds and pick his brain a bit with some questions i have. #MustSeeTV

I shot -11 in round 1 this week playing in 10-15mph winds... Il take your $100 please. We have had people come on here before and accuse the top players of being wind waiters. Yes I'm sure there are some but not all so DONT tar them all with the same brush just because you are not capable of mixing it with the best. Really grinds my virtual gears when people make unproven assumptions about others purely because they aren't able to meet the standard themselves Nice round! I am impressed! I know not EVERYONE wind waits and I know there are some very, very good players in this game and on this tour regardless of circumstances. Also when I referenced the "top 10" I just meant on the leaderboards each week not the overall top 10 in the world rankings. Obviously there is talent here and they will likely win out even with heavy wind. However there are also those that do wind wait and I for one can't wait to have the patch so we can all be on an even playing field and the cream will rise to the top. It will be a very similar cream but it will be a much more satisfying even in defeat. As for the $100, well you called my bluff. I am not actually going to give anyone $100, I have more important things to spend that money on. but I will definitely want to watch some of the top players and get an idea on how they approach the high wind rounds. At least in that case it is a skill based thing and not some random dice roll on who gets an easier/harder round based off wind. Honestly it's not even about the wind itself, it's just about how big of a difference it can make to your round and knowing not everyone is dealing with it. EDIT*** I also agree with what Fuzzy said above me. The top 1-2% are going to be that no matter what, but the rest should fluctuate. In the end it will come down to skill no matter what, but it will be easier to stomach knowing everyone is starting from the same spot. I also do look forward to when the wind is the same as if there are many wind waiters out there it will only help my ranking to see them drop as I know I do not wind wait. Unfortuantly for myself I am just too eager. I simply do not have the discipline to load up the round and quit out if it's high winds. I don't have many other games that I can switch to if this is the case which I think is a factor in those that do do it. "oh well wind is up, il play COD for a few hours" Like I said before I do not deny that there are wind waiters at the top but I would say there are more wind waiters in the rankings 15-50 than there are in the smaller elite section of 1-15 as those guys mostly simply are that good

I played Bradley Cooper on the US Open Hard firmness course in 10-14mph wind and he brought in a -6, should have been a -8 but a couple of putts kinda glitched.
Point is the top 10 even top 25 for the most part understand how to play with wind and until you get into wind that is above 15mph, they can play just as good as they do with a 4mph wind.

While they have a fix for the wind waiting, I don't think they could do anything about wind direction. .. Some will get head winds, others a tail wind,but they're all going to play wind. ..

That's what I understand as well, only speed range will be set for each round not direction, so I guess that will be what everyone cries and moans about for the next six months.....they had a northerly I got a southerly wind, I got screwed whaaaa whaaaa

Hopefully designers are keen to making par 5's go different directions so it doesn't really make a difference. It is frustrating when all 4 par 5's go the same way and the wind is in the face on every one. lol
