Wind speed and direction no accurate

So here I am this afternoon, playing the "New Jersey Challenge" at Liberty National as a Level 27 PGA Tour Pro.

I'm on the par-3 14th. The wind is blowing into [my face and slightly to the left at 13-14 MPH.

The green is laid out left to right, with the pin placement near the right edge of the green.

I choose to lay it up in the big landing zone to the left.

I intentionally under-power the shot and then use the 3-click process and make sure to center it in the white zone on the downswing.

Despite aiming way left of the pin and under-powering the shot intentionally, the ball flies OVER the green and into the cattails. I am forced to drop, and then bogey the hole.

This kind of physical response from very careful shot-planning and execution makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.

Please, EA, if you're going to try to make the weather have an impact on play, make it ACCURATE AND CONSISTENT. 

The nonsensical response of the ball to the wind makes any course where there is wind (which is a lot of them) completely devoid of fun to play.

And hey, EA, VIDEOGAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.

Also, still playing on Arcade/Easy/Easy mode, and thanks to things like the utterly incompetent ball/ wind physics, still can't stay under par. Thanks for robbing this experience of fun.

you just need to practice man.   I find it to be pretty consistent.  but I mean you have to take into account things like distance,  height,   arc with what club you are using,  spin,  etc... I've been playing EA Golf Games since 1986 on the computer.   And besides the using a controller instead of a 3 click,  and the random left to right the ball goes,   it feels just like the old games.  That classic EA Sports play control and feel.

Also the more you play the more you will remember how certain holes play.   Thats another factor.  This is a video game you have to learn the physics they can't mimic real life.
