Sometimes the wind in this game is completely wacked. The shot below, lie is slightly left to right. Wind is coming at me at 8 mph from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock(ish), give or take a little. I aimed to the right of the pin, about 5 yds right because i wanted to catch the little roll out left to right on the green to feed to the pin a little. Hit the shot pretty damn straight.
Why the hell does that little breeze push the ball almost 12 yards from right to left? It's a freaking 8 mph breeze. My desk fan blows harder than 8 mph.

Wind is not 100% consistent in this version - because wind in real life is a complex mess of currents and eddies.
At the point you hit it,the wind went up to 9mph. The lie was also dead straight. You hooked the ball ever so slightly - which magnifies the winds effects as it's going in same direction - this more so when the wind is into you slightly as the ball travels slightly slower.
To me eye you didn't really account enough even if it was setup as you describe and you hit it perfect. So given above, the outcome seems about right.

Because wind affects the lofted clubs (7I and above) way more than the lower irons and woods/drivers.
Those shots, like that one, are in the air so much longer you have to allow for a lot more movement.
With the naked eye i could see you aimed nowhere near far enough right.
With the lofted clubs even a diagonal wind will pretty much take it as far as a direct cross wind.

I understood all of the above already. It still doesn't justify THAT much movement on that particular shot. We're talking an 8mph breeze moving the ball 12 yds sideways from 149 yds out.... and it wasn't even a direct side to side wind. I could understand if it moved 8 or so yds but another 50% more is overdone.

Kind of like mine here. 4mph right to left wind, red/yellow sidehill lie to the right yet the shot ends up 7y left of the hole. Now I admit the shot was ever so slightly off center to the left but I think this was more a case of the sidehill lie doing absolutely nothing to the shot.

Lol, yea, that's a little much for that wind too. |

While I agree that the wind's impact is inconsistent, it seems that the ball's side spin greatly (maybe too great) impacts the left/right results with wind of any speed.
As an example, if the wind is blowing left, and the swing produces a leftward ball flight of any degree, then the wind seems to impact the flight much more so than if the ball's flight and spin were toward the right.
In both videos above, the wind was left and the swings were left-of-center producing that side spin that seemed to "ride the wind." That's why playing those ball flights in the opposite direction can be so beneficial. And yes, this is awfully frustrating because we are fighting just to stay in the cone mostly, but I think it's a serviceable explanation for those shots. All that being said, the game is filled with inconsistencies.

Maybe your ball was liberal!
I will say that is odd but for me the wind usually does not do enough. I do not think it does anything on the short game.

Interesting as I would have played this further right than you did. The slope and wind on a shot where you added loft would cancel each other out. Good to get different opinions. |

Wind is very different in this game vs. the first one.
Which was better FYI.
