…and the ball will ride the wind rather than resist it, and you’ll miss the target by a mile!
Work hard on your visualisation, picturing what the wind is doing to the ball during each part of its flight, then learn from your experience, and you’ll soon be taking more control and shooting lower scores in windy conditions.
Remember: more club, grip down, easy swing.
Happy fairways!
