For the second week running I've played in a howling wind. For the second week running the wind won ðŸ˜. Other than the usual 'play the ball back in your stance', which doesn't seem to work for me, what do people do that works in windy conditions?
What about a 3 club wind 😱? Hit softer then. Do you swing slower or go shorter backswing or both?If you see it as a 1 club wind, play it as a 2 or 3 and hit it softer. The harder you hit it, the more spin, inc side spin, you put on it. The more spin, the more it balloons. Hit it soft with less spin.

This, and accept you will miss greens so a premium is placed on chipping and putting in windy conditions.3/4 swing. And hit softer in any wind. If its a 3 club wind, play it as a 4 club wind.

Factor in the wind when putting, especially side wind.
Can be great fun up to about a 5 club wind.
I remember playing a 5 iron to your par 3 8th(?). It was about 130yds, 9 iron distance for me, and I hit a 5 about 180. It still only made the front edge at about 115yds. Some wind!
I love playing in the wind. It’s so challenging.
I took driver into a par 3, 130yds, yesterday. Headwind not tailwind 😄. I have no ego in terms of what club to take, that ship sailed a long time ago.Club up and swing easy, don't let ego stop you hitting a 5 iron 140 when your mates are all coming up 20 short hitting 7 and 8's.

I just need to hit the ball lower, cleaner and without any side spin. I'm not wanting much 😂
