I just had to poke fun. And another very good point.
Here is some good general advice for playing with strong winds:
If hitting a lower lofted club, the wind won't affect the distance as much, especially if playing a course with a lot of mature trees - shots over the tree line will be affected much more by the wind.
If you are losing, for example, 20 yards on your 5 iron going into the wind, remember you will gain an additional 20 yards with the same club going with the wind. Remember to adjust your club selections accordingly.
Side winds also change your distance, but mostly the wind moves your ball off target. Remember to either play a draw or fade into the wind or aim further to one side, left for example if the wind is moving left to right and let the wind bring your ball into your intended target area.
Diagonal winds will cause even more confusion. Depending on the wind strength and if it wind is stronger from across or against/behind, adjust according tho the two pieces of information above. People who do not play in wind often will find judging distances extremely difficult, yet those who play in windy environments on a regular basis will be heard saying, for example, "it's about a 2 club wind." This means with the wind, club down 2
clubs from what you would normally hit from a particular distance and club up 2
clubs if hitting into the wind.
