Tip of the Week- Playing golf in the wind

This weeks tip is on how to play good golf in the wind. The old saying “when its breezy, swing it easy” is so true. The harder you hit at the ball the more spin you create, and as most golfers do not hit the ball perfectly square on both with the clubface and the swing path, this means side spin is created. The more side spin on the ball in windy conditions the harder it is to keep the ball on line especially if the spin is the same direction as the wind.

So swinging smoother to reduce the spin will definitely help control your shots better in the wind. Play the ball a little backward in the stance to lower the loft of the club and swing it smooth.
