Some Tricks that will cheat the Wind

If the wind is in your face you should hit a shot that imparts very little backspin to the ball. If the wind is at your back you should concentrate on getting the ball up into the air as fast as you possibly can.

The best way to reduce backspin on a shot directly into the wind is to play the ball back nearer the right foot than usual , while keeping the hands in the same relative position to the ball that they would normally be at address-if the ball has been moved back 2 inches, move the hands back 2 inches. The result will be a shot that will start low, stay low and have little backspin. The same technique should be imployed regardless of what club been used.

I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing i am able, like the boxer, to ach...
