i concur with ALee...but if i may, let me say it another way.

in either view, normal or zoom, the wind indicator is relative to a theoretical straight line drawn from the top center of the game window to the bottom center of the game window.

which if put to practice, means that if you have a very slight right to left, but your avatar is slightly off center to the left, even though the wind indicator shows slight right to left, the wind is actually dead straight.

K6 is a good example of this...on your approach shot, the avatar is often set off center to the left, as if the camera view was that of an on course commentator watching you from the back and right...if you had a 7 o'clock wind on the indicator, the wind is actually dead str8 into your shot.

Thank you for this thread YJim, and for the explanation ALee.

The game after I'd read it, I came to a similar situation on that exact hole (13 Kiawah) and applied "the technique". The shot I made would've been better if I'd remembered to add the 6yds to the shot into the 19mph headwind (3mph=1yd), but after taking the initial screen shots, I forgot to. :/ lol!

Here's the pre-shot wind at the tee:

The pre-shot wind at the green:

The replay from the tee showing track of the ball:

And a couple replay shots of the track at the green:

The shot predictably came-up about 6yds short of pin high, and caught the slope of the green - pushing it right of the pin - But the aim worked-out as ALee said it would, which put the ball pretty much on the right line (if I had hit it a bit harder).

Oh... and I made the 19 foot bird! :)

The aim...
