The reason is almost always the wind. It is the one hazard that cannot be carried, laid up short of or dropped out of, and it is the hazard amateurs handle worst, mostly because the instinct it provokes is exactly the wrong one. With a windy major week upon us, it seems a good moment to set down what actually works when the breeze gets up, because very little of it is what the average golfer does by reflex.</p>
