Playing in Windy Conditions: When the cold winter season arrives, so do windy conditions. Below are some important tips to know when it comes to hitting solid shots and controlling your golf ball when playing in the wind. 1. Judge the Wind – This is vital when it comes to controlling the direction of your ball and club selection. Determine if the wind is left to right, right to left, toward you, or downwind. Remember, if you are hitting into the wind, you may have to take more club; if you are downwind, take less club. 2. Rhythm – The harder you try to hit the ball, the more spin you put on it. The more spin, the more the wind affects the shot. Focus on a smooth swing that is in rhythm, and you will notice yourself striking the ball more solidly. You may have heard this before, "When breezy, swing easy." 3. Take a Wider Stance - The wind can move you around and affect your balance. To counteract that, widen your stance. This lowers your center of gravity and helps to maintain a solid base into the ground.
