Even such a quote as "no wind, no golf" alludes only to its presence, not to its influence. Skiiers and sliders might add "no snow, no slide" as elemental, while later recognizing that packed powder, granular, pow pow and other variations of the white stuff make the experience different.
I will re-read Scotland's Gift. Let's get to the nut of the matter: what holes are so critically dependent on the wind that you cannot imagine them facing in the opposite direction? For example, flip #18 at Pebble Beach...Does the alteration change the hole much, other than making it a right-sliding rather than left sliding hole? Have #8 at Pebble play up from the green, across the chasm, to a new green sited on the bluff. Does the new direction depend on wind for its success?
