Yesterday it was too windy to play, but that should not stop the foolish from getting out there. Tall bushy trees back the P3 160y 18th green. The trees are all very full as they block the car park.
Was standing on our 18th. Wind going Left to Right, however the flag was almost horizontal but Right to Left We debated which way to play. My theory was the ball would be more affected by the direction of the wind nearer to the green rather than the tee. So we should play right and let the wind bring it back.
My partner went first and he pushed his way right. So I had nothing to guide me. So I started on the flag, only to see the ball fade a fair bit!! Just cant see how we got it so wrong.
How do people read the wind?
