Yep Will be fixed as soon as the patch is released for all systems Pic has been patched but wind fix will only be active once all systems are patched Search wind waiting and you will see a lot of comments The guys at the top of the lb are lucky with winds or wind waiters or gods that can shoot -10 in high winds (I think the last one unlikely in the lower challenge flights) Hey tezhall
Firstly Welcome
Hopefully once the game patch is in place, it will put us in the same boat, in regards to Teeing off an playing the round. What I'm saying is no matter when you Tee off an play your rounds the wind will be the same for us ,no matter when you play or what day you play.
That's my understanding of what the next patch will be, I'm hopeful
plenty of discussions here on the forums as well as on the HB forums.
P.S
This new system of flights will sort us out,once an for all. once the patch/game updates.

My friend Orion,
Do not get hot under the collar, but...........................................................................I am accusing you of 'plagiarism'.
Your comment, "could not buy a putt from the grounds keeper" was first both used by me and secondly copyrighted. What that means M8, is that I receive royalties each and every time that comment is uttered.
I have my 'plagiarism' police discreetly positioned in every private golf club house to record such utterances. My royalty bank balance is increasing exponentially with the number of missed putts and I am already considering moving from just 'private golf clubs' to public.
Whilst this will have an adverse effect (increase) on the number of 'pp's, (plagiarism police), I believe the additional income will exceed the expense in doing so.
However, in your case, as you are a M8 of mine I am prepared to negotiate.
I will leave the first offer to come from your good self and I will reply to that like any normal business transaction.
And, an update on my rounds, well I would rather that one or two of my practice rounds were used as scores. Suffice, I had an up and down 3 rounds and the wind appeared somewhat more controlled, even when it reached 9 or 10 the gusts in other directions were not as severe as what has been in the past. I trust that is an indication of the improvements made by HB.
The issue regarding, "could not buy a putt from the grounds keeper" is due to be forwarded to my legal team tomorrow, so I would strongly suggest you make me an offer before this issue gets 'dirty'.
Kind regards as always,
oz

Thanks for the welcome! I am also an older gamer. I joined this site last September but only became active recently. I have holes that I blow up on. On this course for example I was shooting E and then rolled in a 9 on a par 4! It is mind boggling.

Oz, my old friend,
Your facts are a little askew here. Go back and read my exact statement. I said that " I could not pay the grounds keeper to buy a putt for me." Your statement was "could not buy a putt from the grounds keeper." So, I think your plagiarism police will have a difficult time in making this hold up in a legal venue. Your statement implies that you are trying to buy the putt directly from the grounds keeper, as if he has them to sell. My statement is on the stage as I will pay him to go out and find me a putt to buy. In other words, I am paying him as my agent to find a source of putts to be purchased. Even if that source is the grounds keeper himself, I am only engaging him as my representative to procure the source of the putts. Small difference, but speaks volumes in the legalistic world. Your statement represents the buyer seller situation. Mine is a buyer using an agent to find the seller, even if the seller is the same agent. Also, your implication that I might get hot under the collar is uncalled for and borders on libel, so WATCH IT!!
Now, since the definition of plagiarism is, according to Webster's Dictionary, "to steal or pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own" or "use (a created production) without crediting the source", I will admit that this situation is a very close one indeed. However, I will still maintain that there is no plagiarism here, but in the sense of friendship and us being M8's, I will cease and desist my usage of this series of words in the future. I will not pay any royalties because of the fore mentioned differences between the two statements which are different and as my legal team advises are not technically plagiarized on my part. My offer is given to avoid any further misunderstandings between us on this subject and to show that I will respect the original statement you have under copyright protection. You will, of course, have to acknowledge that the two statements are close in content, but do imply two totally different attempts to purchase said putts. With that, I will be watching for your response and do hope that some sort of agreement that the situations are not really the same and that a mutual agreement has been reached. If not, then it will be incumbent upon me to seek further actions accordingly. I do hope that this will end this matter between us and that the golfing and putting purchases may continue without any further interruptions on either party's behalf.
On behalf of our client, Orion..............
Sincerely, Smingleberry, Foecheck, Havensacken, and Fribblesnit Copyright Attorneys at Law, LLP, LLC, CPA, and A-Holes at Large.

Orion,
I am afraid to differ. The offer to pay grounds keeper to buy on your behalf, does not negate the fact that you sought to have bought the putt, only using the grounds keeper as the middle man. Yet you are still buying from the grounds keeper said putt, if it were available.
To which my original statement inferred. Both statements infer two things. One, which stands out like a pimple on a judge's nose that neither of us may have been able to afford to purchase said putt. And two, perhaps said putt was not available.
In comparing the two statements my legal team have advised that there exists probable elasticity in interpretation and if the matter was to be referred to a court then it is their opinion that my case would certainly win and also that you would be shamed by the judge for bringing such a superfluous issue before him.
I await your offer as stated before.
oz
(I do not need to threaten with signing off with various lawyers names and rich coloured books, which inside most hide 'Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse Comics'.)

To Mr. Oz, Clearly this is going no where. So we are prepared to take it to a jury and let them decide. Your statement about the judge shaming us by bring this case to him is not by our doing. Remember, you are the one who is crying Foul here, not us. So, get the facts straight, sir. Whether or not the perception of the afore mentioned "middle man" is to be viewed upon as an agent of our client, Mr. Orion, would your stance be the same if the "grounds keeper" were changed to say a course marshal. Clearly it would be in the same act, different players, would you be insane enough to come forward with the plagiarism claim in that instance also? We challenge your legal right to the use of these words in the given context and would like to see the copyright papers to validate this claim on our behalf. Our client has come forth in good faith to suspend any future use of the "questionable" statement, yet your continuing insults towards his legal right to engage legal consul is bordering on the grounds of libel and if such language on your part does not stop, then the pretty, colored Mickey Mouse Comics as you refer to our long standing legal practice will be something that you will enjoy reading from your jail cell. We will gladly provide you with all the materials you will need to fulfill the long and boring hours of your confinement so that you may learn to color within the lines of these comics as you call them. It is something called a salutation that is common practice in most enlightened countries of the world to end a correspondence and also to list the senior partners of a law practice. It is our sincere hope that this kind of behavior will come back down to the land of common manners and respect to ensure that this matter moves forward without any petty name calling or apathetic actions. We shall not be bullied because of our abilities to insert into documents any or all images that we deem necessary to ensure that you know whom you are dealing with. If we choose to place images of Lady Justice and the revered manuals of Law in our correspondence, then that is our right. If you feel that this is an act of intimidation, then there are other more pressing issues you should be dealing with than this silly case of plagiarism.
Please provide us the copyright registration number, as we now want to verify its validity and not just take your word for it. We shall advise our client that there is no need for an offer of apology, as he was prepared to give, in light of the disrespectful manner you have offered to his legal team with these silly and unnecessary statements about images used in a document's salutation as threatening and insulting. I'm sure that our filing papers will include these insults and that the judge will be most interested in the reason for what is considered common practice in today's digital world. It is with a great deal of regret that we must travel this road and endure the rantings of someone who feels that his integrity is threatened by some digital images and the use of a legal team to advise and protect our client's right to speak. We are prepared to move forward with yet another useless, unnecessary litigation that binds our court system to the point of stand still. Expect a very, very, very lengthy amount of time for this to come before a judge and jury. We will tie you up so much with motions, depositions, and extensions that you could never see the inside of a court room. Not a threat by any means, just the reality of frivolous litigation. And to ease your mind about the lawyers using their names in these correspondences, we shall now just sign said documents with the salutation as "The Boys". We will also leave the door open for any counter offer you may want to present, but please do so without insults or threats, if you please.
Sincerely, in behalf of Mr. Orion,
The Boys

Hello all. Two rounds into my first TGC tourney and I'm doing much better than I hoped for. By luck, I just retired (I'm 59) so I have plenty of time to practice and goof off....as long as my wife keeps that "honey-dew" list away from me.I love the feel of friendly competition here and I'm looking forward to making some new friends while playing this uniquely frustrating and rewarding game. I'm wishing everyone the best of luck down the the line. From Wisconsin, Ike.

Hi Ike, Welcome to the TGCT and hope that you are finding things out with no problems. I, also, am a player with some years under my belt (luckily not too much fat as of yet) and you are in with a great group of fellow players. Hope you will find this both fun and rewarding, I do. Frustration is high on the list of daily feelings and so are rewarding moments. Just wanted to welcome you and say good luck with your rounds of golf. Feel free to post any questions you come up with, there are always a bunch in the beginning and there is an abundance of advice and assistance available for the asking. Best of luck to you.
Orion....................

Not too bad a competition for me, I am currently in 4th place with -4. My next two rounds were the same with a -3 then a -1, finishing on -8. Hopefully be good enough for a top 10 going by the results so far. An eagle with my final shot of the tournament got me all excited and my scream made the dog jump. I cant believe how much I concentrate and how annoyed I get when I mess up a shot. Allan.

Hi Allan, From the looks of things, you are having a good first tournament. BTW, Welcome to the CC-E group and if this is your first tourney, then outstanding start for you. You mentioned your scream made your dog jump...............well was it this high:
I had a similar incident also, except my dog came over and bit me.(LOL) Best of luck to you on the rest of the tournament!
Orion....................

Orion,
A copy of my copyright document has been emailed to my good friend Hillary Clinton. Ha, bet you did not know I had such acquaintances in such high places! Or, was in such high places, or was alleged to have been in high places. Or is thought she was in high places, or is mistaken that the general public thought she was in such high places.
I really don't know what high places means?... Perhaps on top of a hill, or mountain?
Anyway, Hillary has promised to forward my email, evidencing the copyright that I hold over the terminology "could not by a putt from the grounds keeper" or any other term that has, as I stated before, an elasticity in it's interpretation that a putt could be bought, or a putt was available to be bought or indeed if in fact one had the money to purchase said putt if it was available. And that transaction could infer to be a grounds keeper, a course marshal or even the 'cute but dumb blonde on the fifth tee offering the players drinks and such'. No need to expand on 'and such'.
The email is to be redirected to "The Boys" after the CIA has had a chance to see if it may have involved the PROTUS muttering the same like comment, which I have no doubt he would have given the number of opportunities he may have had in the many, many occasions that he had snuck out from the White House back door, or perhaps one of his playing opponents on the golf course who may have been from a foreign country. They may wish to 'redact' some of the content of both my Copy Right Document and some of our emails for the sake of Nation Security. So what your legal team may seen from the email via the CIA may be somewhat meaningless.
As I rely on my PP (Plagiarism Police) for income, and as I no longer receive what little I had through golf tours (they now issue you with points, which are as useless as denarius paid to the plebs for their harvest in Ancient Rome), I am prepared to cede just one point.
I made no derogative remarks to your good self, I merely pointed out that the use of an array of legal names was, in my opinion, an attempt to both incite and scare me and the the images of legal volumes bore no parallel to our discussion. However I will excuse you from the plagiarism levy on this instance.
I trust our friendship has not been harmed from this issue, as again, as I pointed out my only source of income is now through the levy and as I am in CC-E and most likely CC-Z in a short period of time, I hope to increase my income due to the level of players in those flights.
Should I need further income to meet my meagre lifestyle, (Pub dinner plus beer each night , Cafe breakfast each day, Chinese, Spanish or Italian Restaurant lunch each day, with accompanying wine) I may have to rely on replays of various 'ghost' plays in order to identify wayward balls and to retrieve if lost or to dive for if hit into water hazards.
Assuring you of my best intentions, which by the way did not target you because of our relationship as I had received lots of paid levies without a whimper from other golfers whom I know, albeit not as close as yourself,
I remain,
oz
(you will note that I sign off as just 'oz', meaning I have no need to impress you with various tittles and such, including animation which I find is unnecessary)

Just to clear things up, "could not buy a putt from a Grounds keeper" was first said in 1974, by me. I remember that year well, I just turned nine and was watching a tour event and Ben Crenshaw had a bad putting day and I turned to my Dad, he could not buy a putt from a grounds keeper. We laughed and that was it..
Royalties can be sent to my PayPal, Randy Watson..that boy's good. If you don't know that reference, disregard.
