How much breeze......?

[Imurg]

Does there need to be before it will affect a golf shot?

Just seen Rickeee and his caddy discussing the breeze at Hoylake - there ain't any!!!!
Even playing into a 5-6 mph and isn't going to make much difference is it..?

Surely 5-6 mph would make a couple of yards difference which could be the difference in hitting the right part of the green to catch a slope or not.

I think a howling gale is needed for some of my shots, nothin' is stopping that ball slinging OOB

Plus these boys work the ball, thus need to know how much spin to put on the ball.

I think the margins are a bit finer for the best in the world than they are for us monkeys.

Not to us, but to the pros yes, they are playing to much finer margins that us.

I guess it depends. Anything down wind especially out of rough may make a difference. They are so accurate, especially mid irons and in, that they need to know exactly what difference it would make. For me, a 5-6 mile and hour makes zero difference. I'm jst aiming for a fairway and the middle of a green
