REAL-TIME WIND DATA Tour Caddie automatically fetches current wind conditions for your exact location. Wind speed, direction, gusts, and temperature - all updated continuously so you always have accurate data for your calculations. TRAACKMAN-VERIFIED PHYSICS Our calculations are based on professional TrackMan research used by tour players worldwide: • Headwind: +1 yard per 1 mph per 150 yards • Tailwind: -0.5 yard per 1 mph per 150 yards • Crosswind drift calculated automatically • Temperature compensation for cold and warm conditions SHOT TYPE SELECTION Different shots react differently to wind: • Low (Knockdown): 30% less wind effect – perfect for controlling trajectory • Normal: Standard ball flight with full wind calculation • High: 30% more wind effect – important to know when hitting high approach shots WIND DIRECTION INDICATOR A simple arrow shows you the wind relative to your target. Instantly see if you're hitting into the wind, downwind, or dealing with a crosswind – and by how much. 4-DAY WIND FORECAST Planning your round?
