18 holes of head wind

how does that happen? Im not sure how hard it was blowing but it was HARD. but it least they got 1/2 in of rain last night so I had that whole roll thing going for me. I had 1 drive actually plug and several more that got at least 3 to 5 ft of roll. #9 at eagle crest is 451 from the blues, I hit driver ( i thought fairly well) then 3 wood (really well) then sand wedge (from about 15 yards out) and 1 putt for par.

Vallley View is like that.   swear to God, i've only had a tailwind on like 5 holes that i've played out there ever.

that being said...i love that course.  when their greens are good, its as good a track as any in NWA.

so how do you play head wind + WET. I can actually hit a low hook with my driver to cheat the wind, but when it goes splat, then what. I went with getting as much air time as I could.

i hit that punch that i hit on most par threes...cept i hit it w/ every club.

according to TW... wind doesn't affect a solidly struck golf shot... read it in an old golf digest one day... if the wind is blowing about 25 - their are particular folks at HCC that don't have a chance to break 100..

head wind... take an extra club and swing smoother, works everytime my friend... and when its wet i tend to hit it close to the cart path... don't like getting the classic's muddy!

only classics will do for my tootsies as well.

I dont have an "extra club" when it comes to the driver.

Haha, you've obviously played there. It was blowing so hard a couple days ago that it was blowing the flags out of the cups. I'm sure #4 & #7 were brutal. They were dead into the wind.

number 4 is ALWAYS into a stiff wind. 

i did have a back wind there 1 time.  got it in 2 w/ a 2 hybrid.

thats a lot of wind.
