The last time I played North Berwick West Links, there was a very strong west wind, 3 or 4 clubs, so the outward half was l-o-n-g and the inward nine was tricky as hell. That's a great set up and wind direction, because the inward holes are where the quirk is, and the outward holes need that beefing up with the wind. It was very difficult to hold approach shots to holes like #10 (short par 3 over the front bunker), #12, #14 Perfection!, blind over the hill, the ball ran like crazy, #15 was made a bit easier as a 6-iron carried onto the very front, #16 was very slippery, #17 similar to Perfection in that the ball ran and ran. #18 didn't make much difference as I hooked the tee shot into the underground chain link fence behind the golf shop!
"No wind no golf" really applies at the links courses.
