Some Tricks that will cheat the Wind

There are two basic principles to keep in mind on those days when the wind is threatening to destroy your poise and your game. 

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.
