It’s time for another episode of ‘Second Hand Shorts’. Today we discuss how to hit it in the wind. You can watch some of the other episodes from the series below:

Today’s short is all about playing into the wind. We see golfers struggle and not enjoy it when attempting to play in the wind. So we asked the Pro down at The Shack how best to tackle the wind..

You’ve got to make a few alterations in your setup to start with to help launch the ball lower.

There’s no problem with moving the ball back, that’s what we want to do.

To start, put your feet together and make sure that the ball is closer to your right foot and the butt of the club is going towards our front pocket.

Open the stance out a little bit This helps to stop you from squeezing the ball out to the right and helps you control the spin.
