  Does anyone have a decent method for aiming with cross winds?

  Memory.   Take Notes.  When you have say a 16MPH crosswind, take a note to how far you aimed(using aiming flag as a guide) and then the result.  

  If it is very close to pin and you dinged then you aimed correctly.   Take note and do it when this wind presents itself again.

  Cheers,

  Missing your snap to the first line into the wind will straighten out a drive into a 20 mph wind. You lose distance sometimes, not much, but the shot stays straight.

  Once you get the feel for it you can try intentionally missing in the direction of the wind but over aiming against it. This gets the ball flying with the wind and you can pick up some yardage.

  Much thanks northern neighbor. I have been working on just that, but sometimes the zoom angles are different which throws things off.

  Thanks much YankeeJim. I have been trying just that. Thought maybe someone came up with a screenshot measurement or something. Guess if were that easy it wouldn't be a game LOL
