Golfing In Windy Conditions
from: John BakersThe weather plays a very important part when it comes to golf. The wind, quite possibly, has the greatest impact. Yes, a wet golf course can cause golfing to be more difficult since it prevents the ball from rolling as far or even in the air at all. However, the wind can influence the end result of an entire golf round.
The wind plays such an important part of golf weather for several reasons. It can affect the direction of the ball. Where the golfer intended the ball to go may be a different direction than where the wind takes it.
Since the majority of golfers are right handed or, at least, play golf right handed, we will discuss the impact of the wind from the perspective of a right handed golfer.
First, the golfer must know which direction the wind is blowing. How strong the wind is blowing is also important. If there is a strong wind blowing on the course, how much the golfer tries to hit the ball will be irrelevant unless the wind is behind them. In this case, the golfer should try to get the ball higher off the ground and let the winds carry the ball. This is especially true on a drive.
Let's imagine. The wind is fairly strong coming in from the right, and the golfer is at the tee staring at a par 3 hole approximately 150 yards from the tee to the intended hole. What can the golfer expect when golfing under these conditions? Well, hitting the ball directly toward the hole will result in much disappointment when the golfer sees the ball blown to the left side of the hole. Depending on course's slope, the ball could roll completely off the green, requiring a chip shot in an attempt to save par. On the contrary, a smart golfer would consider the wind and plan the shot in accordance with the golf weather at hand.
Here's another scenario. The golfer is teeing off a 387 yard par 4 hole with a strong wind blowing straight ahead into his or her face. The best approach would be for the (http://www.alicante-spain.com/costa_blanca_golf_courses.html) golfer to appropriately alter his or her stance so that the ball stays low and avoids the wind. This can help the golfer still get a decent drive despite the wind. This strategy for altering his or her stance must be taken at each shot to keep the ball at a low level. It is also smart for the golfer to choose a club that is bigger than the club he or she usually uses. If a seven iron is usually used for the last 150 yards, when there is a stiff wind blowing in his or her face, a five or six iron might be the better choice when golfing under these windy conditions.
