Really hope the wind update returns in time for the Open qualifiers. A Links' course natural defense is its wind and people waiting around to play in winds under 10mph will not be getting the full links experience. Just hit a lovely -5 in 15-20mph at Lowlander. Was great fun. Hope global wind gets turned on again soon...

Aren't they two week tournaments? I have a feeling the wind update will come up at some point in the middle of that period, which may put those who do their rounds later at a significant disadvantage.
I hope it comes back before Saturday but I have my doubts...

To say I'm not encouraged by what I've been reading on the HB forums would be putting it mildly. No timeline for when a wind patch can be expected, no explanation as to why they removed the equal strength wind so abruptly, and no details on what changes they are currently working on.
What I have read from HB staff on the topic has struck me as elusive and vague. They seem reluctant to answer questions.

The topic on this wind fix has really upset me. The fix, while not perfect, was still a lot better than noting at all. I think HB made the wrong decision on pulling the partial fix.
First time I can honestly say I am upset with the silence on this topic from them.

First time I can honestly say I am upset with the silence on this topic from them. Yes it was nice. Somehow I expect it to be gone for a while. Their whole game premise was on ghost players so that's more important to them than wind. It won't be back unless it's 100% fixed.

I could probably say that the reason they pulled it was from the wind doing a 180 or changing drastically even mid swing since the play now wind was at 1mph.

Just talked to Keith about an hour ago and he told me it is going to be an update/patch, and nothing that can be turned on/off as it was as when they reverted the wind fix lately. So this is going to take a while I fear...

This is how I feel about the wind fix and HB pulling it, reverting back to the old totally unfair broke winds mode.
(WARNING: May be a bit too graphic for some)

A agree they should have left it the way it was, I really enjoyed the week where the wind was more equal. It was just a shame everyone complained about it.

It was just a shame everyone complained about it. not everyone, only those that lost out on a major key exploit ... then the minor exploit of lagging out when using ghost balls during tournament play .... Which I feel is a bigger exploit than chipping on the green.

I really could care less about the ghost balls, never use them anyways, another thing to slow the game down. But the winds all at steady higher mph isn't much of a fix either. I brought this up over at the HB forums. What we really need is steady winds at say 4 - 12 mph with gusts that are random, which is much more like real winds. I'm not sure If thats possible, but it would pretty much fix everything. You want to wait for low winds go ahead 4 mph and you hit your shot, but a gust comes up and blows it off course. You want to play in high winds same thing, but just because that steady 12 mph wind is blowing doesn't mean its going to stay that way, higher steady winds, higher gusts, just like in real gameplay. Also each course should have winds from a particular direction, or should I say prevailing wind, that could and should be set up in the course designer.

Yep, it was mainly the waiters complaining. I always turn Ghost balls off then playing my tourney rounds. I like them on practice but never on the real thing.
Bruce, I think most agree with your suggestion but the previous fix implemented was better than what we are back to now. We are told there is a fix which will be implemented in the next update but I doubt that will include any of your ideas.
