Playing In The Wind

With the last few days being so windy I was wondering what you do to adapt your game to the conditions.

I try to hit my tee shots more smoothly and if possible I'll hit a punch shot to the green.

Today I was trying to hit a draw from the tee if the wind was coming from the left and a fade if it was blowing across the fairway from the right.

Most of the time this did work, but with me still being an amateur (lol) I didn't manage to do it everytime!

Myself, Russ, I try to use the wind to my advantage. I need every yard I can get, so a bit of help from the wind is always welcome. Cross winds never seem to bother me it is only when I am firing straight into it that I struggle.

I play in the wind all the time as my home course is aberystwyth in west wales, The driver stays in the bag with any cross wind left to right as any slice and its a goner. 

I love it though when u get a great wind behind you on a par 5 with an open fairway and you do manage to get the middle LOVELY. As for a wind straight in your face well i just hope get a shot, 

What i have noticed how much my putting improves after a few windy rounds, does anyone else find this

 I'm with John Petit on this one: you can't fight the wind. Always better to take a couple of clubs more and swing easy. The harder you hit a ball into wind the higher it will go.

 You don't have to leave your driver: if you strike it well with no right or left on it it should be ok.
