im playing the euro and I've had 15-18 into my face for the last 6 holes, some peeps are driving the ball 60-70 yards past me? Anyone else seeing this, how can this be a level playing field if you can't hit par fives in 2 like others can and when I'm hitting woods into par 4 greens? Thought this was gonna be a game changer... Will be interesting to see if I get any advantage on the back nine lol

Me too. I'm on the 6th and I'm driving into 16mph wind and my ghost ball partner just drove 40 yards past me!

That's why people are driving past you. Nothing we can do until HB take a look unfortunately

Thought this was gonna be a game changer... Will be interesting to see if I get any advantage on the back nine lol I noticed this same thing in my first round. After having my opponents ghost balls blast 40 yards past my drive, I waited about 30 seconds on the next tee and watched the wind changed directions by 90 degrees. Rather than having wind directly in my face it was blowing East to West. I did this on every tee the rest of the way. I will say that I never saw the wind change more than 90 degrees. So, just give it a few seconds and watch the wind meter. It may slowly change direction before you tee off.

Haha, so its become another type of wind-waiting then! Yep. However, everyone can wait a few seconds for the wind to change direction (if it does) and have the same advantage. Good thing is, you won't have people "logging in" to play their round, checking wind severity, and then quitting out because they don't like the conditions. For that reason alone, the update is welcome.

A 90 degree shift isn't too unrealistic IMO, it's just people struggling with the 180 degree wind changes. I never spotted this during any of my rounds.
