Unfortunately i dnt think it will ever be perfect, sorry to quote another game, but on tw14 u could be in club chat, talking to whom u will play say a tournament with, both load it up, hole 1 on the tee, same time, one has headwind, one has tailwind, nothing you can do about it, the end of the day were all playing the same wind strengh, whatever direction it is, ok i get the arguement about head n tail wind, its no difference than say rory teeing off at 9am 10 mph headwind, speith tees off at 2pm, wind stilll strong 10 mph, bt its turned he has tailwind, my point is were all playing the same strength, no one has 1 mph, and u play 16 mph, were all playing the same. And over the course of a round these should even themselves out anyway. And if anyone is sad enough to wait at individual holes for the wind to turn then more fool them because I enjoy the rest of my life! Lol!

Played the first round of this weeks PGA tour event at majestic. Played along side of Tyler's (disturbed) ghost ball. 10mph winds for almost every shot Low 9 high 11. Tyler appear to have the same wind. We both shot 12 under. You can watch the entire round on my twitch. (DLW1964) 2nd Rd had a 3mph on the 1st hole. Hit my tee shot and stop. Really enjoy myself today. No more wind waiting. Also really not much of advantage of having ghost balls on. Watch my twitch and you will see that me having Tyler's ghost on didn't change the way I approach my shots but it was fun watching & competing with him on every shot. I lead most of the round until he caught me on the backside then I had to chip one in & make a long putt at the end to stay tie with him.

I don't get how waiting to see what a ghost ball does in the wind will do you favour. It's all about modifying your shot in the wind. Be it draw, fade, lower ball flight, higher ball flight. And as far as I know there is no way to see how a ghost ball modifies their shot. Plus, in real life you have at least one playing partner anyways....

It's a huge advantage, especially now that we all have close to the same winds. Can I carry that bunker or water and make the green in one? Let's wait and see where the average landing spot is for these 3 guys... Ok I know I can make it easily.

The point is legacy, you don't know if they've hit a higher shot, lower shot, faded into the wind, drew it into the wind. Just play your own game. Trust your feel.

Some of you people will complain about anything. Lol To Alexander, really man? Wind wait is going to be worse? People don't have the time to sit around and wait hours until every shot has a good wind. If it's swirling, it's going to help people on some holes and hurt people on some holes. Just because it's not fair for the 1st hole that somebody has helping winds, doesn't mean it won't be the opposite on the next hole. Also, I'd much rather hit my approach in with headwind. I think the update is fantastic and really changes things around here.

With strong winds the benefit of waiting even got bigger.

Doesn't matter how long you wait now, you will have the same winds whatever happens.

At first I was concern about ghost balls helping out but really I don't see it being too much help. I just played 18 holes with disturbed ghost ball on, plus shot enable on too. His ghost was no advantage for me. Your welcome to watch. My twitch is dlw1964.
I wish players would just stop crying about everything. Just shut up and play the dam game. Hopefully have some fun in the process.
