SIAP -

How much distance do you gain or lose in the wind? lets say its a 15 MPH wind...and you have 180 yards. if thats normally a 6 iron, but youre hitting with the wind at your back, go to a 7 or 8? does anybody have any rule of thumb they go by for how many clubs you go up or down by for a certain amount of wind? 10 mph = 1 club?

thanks!

For some reason, I feel like I have it figured out into the wind, but not with the wind. I go a club up for every 10mph into the wind. I went to a practice area one windy day, hit a bunch of balls and that's what I came up with. Whether that's accurate is another story, but that's what I stick with right now.

To be honest, I go totally off feel. I don't know how much the wind is blowing, especially here where the trees are big I have no idea what the wind is doing above the trees compared to what I'm feeling. I play the wind off feel and then I like to hit knockdown shots both into the wind and with the wind so that I can have a little more control.

I don't have high club head speed and don't produce a lot of spin so my results may be different.

Into the wind I club up for every ten MPH (estimated) Down wind I get some extra on tee shots and long approaches due to additional roll but with 8, 9, or wedge I sometimes LOSE a little because my spin won't lift the ball; they sometimes get knocked down by a following wind.

totally based on feel for me as well...we had 30 mph winds on saturday and i hit a punch 6 iron into the wind on a 159 yard par and just made the green. with the wind...totally different, usually on anything less than a 9 i'm assuming it will play about the yardage maybe minimally more due to the wind knocking it down and killin the spin.

I'm a feel player as well, but as a rule of thumb, I go up or down a club for every 10/15 mph of wind, but I never know mph for sure, so it comes down to a feel thing in each scenario.

This. Plus I look to see if there is an open spot in the woods or whatever to see if the wind is actually stronger. Typically around here with the winds it's a 2 club wind and that just comes from experience as well.

I have always heard its one club per 10mph, now on Sunday I had a 2 club wind in my face and flew the green. So now I will always play a club that gives me the best/safest chance to get on or close to the green.

Choose the club off of feel. I guess for me wind is something I feel that is unusual from a calm enviroment, maybe 10 to 12 mph. In something like a mild to moderate wind always a club up if it's against you, maybe 2 clubs up against you and slightly uphill. It's got to be feel from what is normal for me.
