Windy day golf tips from 1918 play expert
In windy conditions a golfer should keep drives low and straight, avoid looping the ball into the air, and aim into the wind to maintain direction. Driving high with a strong wind often loses control, while short, well-directed shots into the wind minimize yardage loss and preserve accuracy.
