Ten MPH

Problem

You are playing on a windy day and cannot decide what club to use.

Cure

When you know it is going to be windy, find out the wind speed before starting your round to help you determine the proper club to use for each shot. Great sources for this information are looking at the current online weather status or asking the staff at the course.

Therapy

Use the ten miles per hour estimate. For every ten mph of wind speed, plan to play a club more or less depending on if the wind is blowing downwind or upwind. If you plan on fading or drawing the ball into crosswinds, plan on taking 2 clubs more per ten mph of wind speed.
