Please REMOVE Crooked Numbers
It’s got to go, it’s just not fun. 15mph, then a rainbow putt line from 4 feet away, terrible courses, terrible greens. It’s like I can only play 3 days a week online if I’m lucky with these not fun ...

It's not easy to birdie 97% of the holes on tour/sim in high winds, but on Pro it is super easy regardless of the wind. It really depends on what difficulty you are playing. Sim is the most fun mode in the game and the only one that I really enjoy anymore. Wind makes shooting a perfect score on Sim or Tour feel rewarding. On low wind, even Sim is way too easy to shoot a perfect score so Crooked numbers is the best playlist to ensure more of a challenge in terms of wind on any difficulty. Any playlist with 1-2 or even 2-4 mph wind is horrible in my opinion.
I only play Pro and I should have mentioned that in my original post, I apologize for the lack of clarification.
I don’t mind if SIM people want winds, fine, give it to them, just keep it out of Pro at such a high frequency. We’re not playing Pro for high winds and exceedingly difficult courses/greens 24/7. We’re just not.
On Pro it’s not super easy lol. Depending on the direction, there are different decimal algorithms to wind computation if you want to get within 5ft to the cup based on wind alone. It’s not a one size fits all by far. I’ve mapped it, the wind has different multipliers based on directions on a clock. 6 is stronger than 12, etc. It’s mathematical facts and you can get in real trouble if you compute wind to the face like you do to the back on certain clubs.
It’s not easy if you haven’t mastered it. “Easy” is a loaded word right? People that hole out every round say it’s easy, of course to them it is, but to the other 95% of players, it’s not. So be careful and think before you say “easy” because it’s not that cut and dry.
Also, I play Tour guys all the time who say Pro is easy and they end up shooting -12 while I’ll put up a -22 and up. There is a bit of an elite mentality with Tour/Sim guys and they greatly underperform on Pro regularly.
I’m not the best, but I do play on a high level and it’s not easy to birdie and eagle everything all the time in all conditions, that’s preposterous. I’ve been in lobbies with the tip top ranked players in the game and they birdie/eagle everything when you would expect them to hole out every round, they don’t. The baseline for Tiger was birdie/eagle everything and those who can hole out will win. It’s not like that anymore, being consistent hitting birds and eagles every single shot is top 5 global.
I think most players want a challenge when they play multiplayer, and with pro being one of the easier game modes I like seeing harder conditions
