They were forever changing like i said but there were parts of the round that were 3mph yes. PC got the new wind patch already whereas PS4 and Xbox still have the old wind fix... the winds are the same for everyone on PC just changing instead of steady, shame all 3 patches were not released together

Started off reasonably well with -8 in round 1. I know it should have been better, but hey ho. Round 2 had winds 17-24mph and I managed I damn good -3. Winds were slightly lighter in round 3 but not much, and I shot -2. Round 4 was the most frustrating of the lot. Winds were about 8-12mph so should have been easier, but I never managed to put my approach shots in a good position on the green. So many holes were cut on slopes and I was always playing across, never up or down. Consequently I only managed a disappointing -2. After last week's surprisingly good top 20 finish, I think I'll see myself at best mid table this week. I'm hoping last week's result doesn't push me into Euros next season, I don't think I'm ready to compete with the bigger boys yet.

Played my first 2 rounds with a 61 and then a 72 as the winds picked up in round 2. Noticed the incoming storm reeks some havoc for round 3 as some rain accompanies the wind. Weather conditions definitely raises the difficulty level this week. Sorry man but I gotta be the English teacher here. The word you were reaching for is "wreak". Reek just smells. Sorry.

You are not alone Ayako. lol. the winds on PC were obviously lighter than other platforms, however instead of constant gusts the wind strengths were forever changing but by far the bigger problem on PC since the new patch was the new swing, i have never suffered from partial shots like i have done here, so many 93 percent shots, even an 88, i know these have always been common place on PS4 and Xbox but now seems we have them too. all lead to another rubbish tournie for me -7, -8, +1, -8 (-22) that over par round was in such light winds (mainly 3mph) just really struggled with the swing, kind of hope i don't make the bigger tours and stay here on web where i obviously belong. Hang on! You got 3 mph winds in round 3?? Please tell me you didn't because we got 18mph on ps4 How did you get on in rounds 1 and 2? I was a happy chappy after walking off with a 66 in round 2. Started this tournament very well for me. Hitting the ball nicely - so I expect that to change soon! Need to get rounds 3 and 4 in before everything goes t*ts up with the release!

Talking of the release, I've been reading the feedback from the PC community from their update! Sounds like it was balls'd up and had to be temporarily removed. As usual, there's a lot of mixed feedback - did I say mixed? I meant negative! Still, nothing us PS4 players haven't been through the last 8 weeks. I have to say that I'm a little disappointed in HB. Their mentality for releasing updates, the overall amount of testing, seems sub standard. I'd love to give them the benefit of the doubt with the console release but I'm sure it won't be long before I'm back here posting my woes!
In the meantime, happy swinging!

Cannot get my heart and head into these playoffs.
Good luck all!

Ayako, that may not he a bad thing. At least we'd be good company. Congrats on becoming a teacher.

I think the PS4 update may be much ado about nothing. Hope so anyway.

Hopefully I won't need the chip shot anymore ;-) Played the first two rounds of the CC tourney after the update to test it. Winds are more mild with gusts instead of the same all the way through and they did revamp the chipping. It's a little more sensitive now and you can pound it if not careful. Swing is the same. I shot 61-60 over there so I don't think the update will adversely affect any of us.
