Take a small conservatory with you and hit from inside that

Dont think there is much you can do in this wind. Just try and swing easy is the best I can say.

I take a slightly wider stance & shorten my backswing, just need to make sure you get your weight through the ball

I take a slightly wider stance & shorten my backswing,..

I make my stance more narrow to be more streamlined, I also wear a pro cycle helmet and wet suit

Lying flat on the ground works too but it's harder to transfer the weight

If you can't play in the wind then you'll never win The Open and get an OBE :ears:

The best thing to do is to keep the ball under the wind with a controlled swing so you dont fall over.

I just got back from the range where I made this short video below showing my normal shot and a low shot.

Notice in the second swing...
hold the grip at the bottom
make the backswing and through swing shorter
Ball back slightly in the stance
use a punch type of swing
And use more club
