Sluggo42 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So I'll be playing tomorrow in the eye of the California inferno, with 40 mph winds expected and gusts up to 80... Should be a hoot.

DaveP043 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yes, steady 30 gusting over 50 in Ireland. Stay centered, swing within yourself, and don't take it too serious!.

JAGolfore Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Stay centered like Dave said and don't over swing. And have fun you'll hit some long ones and some won't go near as far as you'd hope.

Jmikecpa Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Every round at my club is windy. Being in the water a 20 mph wind is considered a light breeze.

Rusty1885 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Played both Monday and Tuesday when the wind was making all kinds of trouble starting and fueling the forest fires here in SoCal. It was fun judging the wind. The group was calling how many clubs wind on each shot. On one hole I was hitting a draw that drift 30 yard right Heck I don't even have to wait for special occasion, about half the time at Sierra lake in Fontana or a couple of courses in Beaumont would offer this kind of wind challenge.

alfriday101 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 My last trip to Ireland. My caddie looked at the pin on the elevated green and said it was 165 "on the ground." She thought about it and said, it will play 220 to 240. I hit the best 4 wood of my life to get pin high. Hard to explain to non-links players that it was a great shot. A 165 yard 4 wood? Big deal.

Sluggo42 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Oddly it didn't blow until we got to 15, but it was howling everywhere else.

Peaksy68 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We get a lot of wind at my home course, most days it's a 1-2 club breeze, but it can get crazy. Strongest I've seen it there was ridiculous, 10th normally plays into and from the left about a club and it's usually driver and a 50 yd pitch, I've had to hit driver, 3 wood to get to the front edge when it really blows.

Played in Saturday morning in the men's game and hit driver, 7 iron into the 530 yard par 5 4th downwind. Played it in the afternoon with my son when the wind shifted and hit driver, hybrid , 9 iron into the wind. I thought hybrid would leave me 100 yards in and was off by 30 yards. #13 downwind is a drivable par 4 but into the wind I have hit driver and 5 iron. Needless to say I have learned to hit the ball a lot lower the last few years.
