Most courses in Us are inland. So, wind is only a rare factor. Many golfers don't know how to manage it. Some easy strategies will help you handle the gentle wind.
For your information, shots will be affected by gust over 10 miles per hour. Hit into a headwind, your ball will loses yardage. Into a tailwind, the ball flies farther and runs after landing. Crosswinds will move the ball well off your intended line.
When you are facing a headwind take one extra club for every 10 mph of draft. For example: if you ordinarily hit a 7-iron 150 yards, you will need 4-iron to hit into 30 mph gust. Resist the temptation to swing harder. Just make a slow swing and keep your hand rising only to shoulder height.
Headwind will also "amplify" a shot's bend. If your general shot flies left to right, then a headwind will move it farther right. So, aim more to the left.
Tailwinds straighten out curve balls. So, don't aim so far away from the target. Take less club, because a tailwind keeps the shot in the air longer and make the ball rolls after landing.
When you ride into a left-to-right crosswind, start your shot well to the left and let the wind bring it back. Aim five yards off the target for every 10 mph gust.
In all kind of wind, try low-flying shot when hitting from the fairway.
Take one or two more than the length dictates and set up open. Your feet and body aimed slightly to the left. Play the ball back in your stance, with your hands angled forward.
Choke down on the club and keep your grip firm. Swing slow to shoulder-height, then pull down and through with your left arm and hand. Restrict your follow-through so you can close with the club pointing at your target.
