Playing in the wind

[Lord Tyrion]

Was it windy yesterday? I hadn't noticed.

I thought the wind seemed to drop each time it was your shot 🤔🤣. I cancelled today's golf when I got home, I'm not regretting it.

i always enjoy playing in the wind, don't fight it

I think your last point is a major part of the problem, I do fight it. I need to try harder to relax more and swing slower.

All good advice but I would also advocate practice hitting shots in the wind. Find out how far a knock down 7 iron will go, work on the technique and find a way to get it round as best you can. Remember most will struggle in the conditions so patience, a creative but clear mind and not trying to hit it too hard will give you and advantage over most

I seem to do ok in the wind, more by luck than judgement. I naturally hit the ball quite low (and thin), so in a crosswind the wind doesn't grab it quite as much as it would do if I hit it higher. Into the wind is the hardest for me though as it will balloon up and go absolutely nowhere.

I played a links course today in a hooley cross wind on every hole. One guy hit it arrow straight every time with a driver punch irrespective of wind direction and lost very little distance if not gained on some holes. It was just a simple punch shot driver back in his stance. In fact, his forward lean on every club was immense.

Other than that, bump and run to as many greens as possible and accept safety with one extra shot when needed.
