Golf with the Wind: Don't Fight It.

What changes do you make to your golf swing when hitting into a strong wind?

Here are some important things to remember.
Golfing in the wind
  • Take at least 1 more club for distance (if its a 7 iron take a 6, 5, or 4 iron).
  • Don't swing harder at the ball. Choosing an extra club should allow you to maintain your normal rhythm and tempo.
  • SHALLOW OUT your swing. The ball will stay lower and under the wind.
  • Try to keep a semi-circle action/shape like this: U rather than this: V 
  • A steep sharp V-type action will produce a higher ball flight, thus fighting the wind.

Don't fight the wind, stay smooth, and keep your rhythm and tempo. Golf with the Wind.

See you at the 19th
