The former CEO and chairman of Motricity, Ryan Wuerch now serves Austin-based DOSH as its chairman and founder. Beyond his professional duties, Ryan Wuerch enjoys playing golf in his spare time. Here are three useful tips for playing golf in windy conditions:
1. Swing smooth – Avoid your initial inclination to swing as hard as you can at the ball in order to counter the wind, as this generates backspin that results in the ball falling short of its target. Instead, use a smooth swing using approximately 80 percent of your power to achieve a lower flight, thus lowering the wind’s effect on the ball.
2. Watch the trees – Anticipate the direction the wind will pull your ball in by examining the tops of trees on the course.
3. Be Risk Averse – Going for the riskiest shot every time will often backfire when playing in the wind. Always play for the largest parts of the green or fairway to avoid ending up in bunkers and deep rough.
