What to do when playing golf into the wind

[pat52010]

The other way to hit a wind ball is to take more club. If it is say a 5 iron normally, use a 3 iron, play it slightly back in the stance and take a normal swing.  One mistake people make when playing into the wind is to swing harder, when you should try to maintain an easy tempo!! You can also hood the face of the club slightly, which keeps the ball from ballooning, in addition to the above if the wind is really strong.

I almost always block these way right, can't play into the wind

Thanks this is so helpful because we get a lot of wind in this part of the UK.
