How Adam Scott plays in the wind 💨

Golf instructor Rick Shiels examines how PGA Tour star Adam Scott controls ball trajectory and spin when playing in windy conditions. The video breaks down key adjustments including setup tweaks, club selection, and swing speed management to help players keep the ball low and accurate.

• Take extra club and swing easy to minimize backspin in strong wind conditions.
• Place the golf ball slightly farther back in your stance to lower initial launch angle.
• Choke down on the golf club for increased swing control and contact solidness.
• Use a low, sawed-off follow-through to maintain a penetration trajectory into crosswinds or headwinds.
