If you swing easy on a day like today here especially, the ball would probably end up behind you...

I'd still swing it slower. If you're playing in a comp then I'd rather take 100yds less and straight than playing 3 or 5 from the tee. One of my friends has played Rye where they play some top amateur events and he used this technique to win a scratch event with a score of +9 (I think that explains how windy it was)

I try to keep the ball down a little when hitting into the wind and cross wind shots.

Always remember "Into the breeze swing with ease"

In windy conditions esp over here play your normal shot but think of a few things before you hit

- wind direction
- wind speed
- into the wind do you have enough club
- with the wind should you drop down a club

Most importantly trust your shots

All of this was one of the reasons playing with you in Myrtle was so fun, watching you adapt to entirely different conditions and course style.

I'm not good enough to change anything so I hit and hope. At most I'll aim a little more into the wind unless it's from my right, then I just hit the fade and let it ride. This is something I need to learn about more because quite honestly it gets windy down here in the late spring and stupid me hits a 58* wedge into the green, cursing all the while as it drifts 20 yards off target.

...and play a Taylor Made LDP ball. Every time I play in wind I am amazed how little effect the wind has on them.

I really try to hit it through the wind. Same swing just more club. If you over swing you're toast. So more club and swing away.
The knock down also works well for me. If I have a cross breeze then I play with it or against depending on the shot.
