Playing golf when it's windy

[Rlburnside]

good for you!

You have to be a good golfer to play in 60mph winds, well done sir

😂 I’ll send you a wooden spoon to help you stir the pot

Anyone stupid enough to go out in 60mph winds would find they could hardly stand still let alone swing a club. 😂

Especially if yer brolly was up 😁

really

so you are saying we havn't had 60MPH winds in the UK recently?

I'm sure that you'd have been okay, just needed to make sure that you were wearing your thickest pair of shorts.

not really it was either play golf in that or go shopping with the wife, but no doubt someone will be along in a moment to tell me you can't go shopping in high winds either

Well, you can't if the winds blown the roof off the shopping centre......

I would have thought that the use of a wind gauge whilst playing would not be allowed under the rules of golf. So the only way I have of knowing is the forecast winds on the weather forecast. I have certainly been out on the course out a few times when I could hardly stand up at the very top of our course, but that was wind gusts rather than a constant wind.

I remember playing once when one of our par fives (normally nearly reachable in 2 ) was a driver, 3 wood, 3 wood and 8 iron and they were all good shots.

I can beat that 😀 played one of our par 4s driver, 3 wood ,3 wood, 9 iron 👍

If the winds were as strong as mentioned I would be nowhere near a course or near a range. That seems an exercise in futility. Played when it's been strong in gusts and the unpredictable nature made it a lottery. Still enjoyed the challenge and would take that than trying to fight 60+mph winds constantly

One of my favorite rounds this year was an absolute battering we got a ballyliffin. Blowing wind and rain from the first to the last.

2 of our 4 ball walked in after 9. I persuaded my mate to stay out till the death.

It was a battle the whole way around. I wore a left and right glove and that saved the day for me. The other guys could not keep hold of the club.

I was swinging poorly. Sliced it around the place. Chipped as well as i could. Shot 16 over and it was probably as good a score as i could make it those conditons and where my game was at on the day.

Went home oddly satisfied yet soaked like a drowned rat.

I dont want to do it again any time soon but once in a while it can be fun.

Don't mind the wind, just struggle to get a good score in it. Don't mind the rain. But both.. Played last year in wind and sleet and the biggest snow flake you could imagine went straight down my right ear ole. I had instant Brain freeze, I thought I was having a stroke.. That was on the 8th. We walked in on the 9th which was at the clubhouse.

Playing Golf in 60mile an hour winds?
Someone has been sniffing glue

Decent size trees get uprooted at 50mph, so you won't be standing up swinging a club in 60mph.
