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...

Hit a draw/hook for a left-to-right wind to "hold the line" and vice-versa. You lose distance but it's almost always worth it to maintain control. If you instead try to ride the wind, the end result is very unpredictable both in terms of direction and distance.
This part is definitely true in game. Reducing the elevation of the shot reduces the impact of the wind too.
Random landing. And some glitches. The other day I hit a 210 yd 4 iron into a 13mph wind with 3 below elevation. The pin was 192yds away. Wind should hold about 20 but if it held a little less i could spin it back. Well it went 220. Hmmmm. I got nothing for that one.

. I generally add 1 yd for every mph, sometimes more or less depending on course and conditions and club being used, spin...etc. Subtract or add a percentage according to whatever degree angle of the wind. The devs are also not God, so the top players really memorize how each course plays specifically.

Also I've notice that since I learned how not to hit my tempo slow on every single approach shot, that if I go over into the red on tempo, i have a tendency to overshoot the green. So i'd rather be slow then in the red at this point. I could be wrong but thats what I'm seeing.
- @mega8deth8 I think that a lot of people on this forum forgot that maybe you just miss hit your shot. I'm not saying that everything in the game is perfect but it's weird to say that because the ball doesn't go where you want it's because the game is not good.
I play a lot of real golf and I found that the physic and the gameplay of this game is perfect, I didn't see any problem with that.
