Generally when it's windy in one part of the city (as noted on the weather network), it's windy pretty much everywhere....

Well I've played 24 rounds this year and have only played 2 that no or little wind. This is the same every year in Ottawa. Just think though..............it does make us better golfers.

Played Greensmere for the first time today, lots of wind, especially on the front 9 which is links. Made for some very interesting club selection! The best part of playing in windy conditions - no mosquitos!
BTW very impressed with the condition and speed of the greens, fast and rolling true!

Played Predator today and it was a 2.5-3 club wind all round long!!!

Hole 3: 185 yds left to green - downwind - 8 iron - landed middle of green
Hole 4: 185 yds par 3 - upwind - 2 iron - landed short, rolled onto front of green

It was the same around Toronto...

161 yds upwind, 5 iron just short, right of the green...
157 yds downwind, 9 iron, back of the green, 5 feet from the pin...

But that sun was nice though

With all this crazy wind happening, I went out and shot my best round of the year today. I have been quite consistent thus far, all rounds between 79-85, but today brought a 76 at Riverbend. I know.. not the most difficult course, but it is a 76. I was actually 1 under on the back until a triple happened, yikes.. The course was in pretty good shape, I was impressed. Greens were slow and it made it pretty easy to get up and down when missing greens.

This morning I have a wicked sore neck, must be that damn wind. I don't think I'll be able to play in the British Open with all that wind!

Played Manderly Saturday..was kinda nice hitting that pitching wedge almost 150 with the wind behind me.

And on the upwind holes?...

Well the 7w to about 170 wasn't so good...lol

Played the new Talon at Greyhawk today and that's was the strongest wind this season thus far...

7th and 17th holes: About 190 yds each - 8 iron - one in middle of green, one at back of green

14th hole - upwind - 230 yds par 3 - Driver - Front fringe!!!

Now that's some wind

I bet all of us are wishing for that cold wind right about now.

Well either that or for my office to change its policy on drinking beer while on duty. A nice cold MGD would sure hit the spot (yes I realize its 9:40, and yes I realize what that makes me look like).

TOPIC - Played a couple week ago and i'm a high ball hitter, so wind is always fun.

Renfrew Golf Club
14th Hole - 168 yards - Upwind - 6 iron front of green
17th Hole - 140 yards - Downwind - Lob wedge to pin high. (I flexed the pipes after that)

All I care is that the wind goes away, now a breeze is just fine, but these winds lately have been killer. Really, IMO takes a bit of the fun away from the game....
