I'm surprised how many choose temperatures under 70 or even 60. I guess I shouldn't be, since I'm also surprised how many people keep their house cold enough to hang meat even on the hottest summer days!
I guess I'm not surprised that many would prefer to play in relatively wind free conditions, even though it would tend to go against the GCA mantra, but my love of strong winds isn't all masochism (though some of it is)
I figure that I have an advantage over most players the stronger the wind gets. And that's despite the fact I normally hit it higher than about 99% of golfers. I've just learned that successful play in the wind is all about:
1) its mostly in your mind, don't get psyched out
2) don't fight it, work with it (yes, I'll aim out over a lake and the let the wind blow the ball back to my target)
3) solidly hit shots beat less than solidly hit shots in the long run, even if the latter are better than the former in every other way imaginable
4) no need to be a 'shotmaker' to keep it low in the wind, just take a short lazy swing and use a couple more clubs
5) Pro V1s and their ilk are like cheating when hitting driver into the wind, if your confidence ever flags when driving into the wind just think about how hard it used to be only a decade ago and how monstrous an advantage you have here in the 21st century
