Orlando Golf Courses And Wind

By Patty Summers


Usually at clubs such as Orlando Golf Courses, you will often notice that there are wind tunnel flags raised on poles. It is well worth your while to monitor these flags as they give a good indication as to the strength of the wind blowing on any day. These will also give you an indication as to the direction the wind is blowing in.

With this in mind you will now be able to gauge more or less what the wind will be doing on every hole. This is useful should you already have a conception of the layout of each hole as to its distance to the pin, where pot bunkers are located or obstacles such as tall palm trees that must be avoided. Keeping your trajectory low at all times is essential whilst guiding your ball through eighteen holes as invariably courses such as these have long thick grass which encompass the roughs.

Roughs are that part of a course that demarcate the boundary of the fairway. For novice golfers playing under severe conditions these roughs made up typically of tall thick and bush grasses and vegetation can be defeating. It is best advised to play one of the many other courses dotted around the City of Orlando that offer less challenging game.

Golf courses are rated as to their level of difficulty. It is well worth the effort to familiarize yourself with the course you intend playing at before taking a club out of your bag. One can turn this exercise into a family day where incredible lunches, breakfasts and dinners are laid out fit for a king. This is an ideal time to walk the course after eating a sumptuous meal, armed with a score card and notebook.

You can now familiarize yourself with your surroundings and take note of factors such as the distances of each hole from the tee off area to the pin placement on the green. Pin placements are changed from time to time and club supervisors and green keepers will usually do this on a weekly basis. It is therefore a worthwhile exercise to take a look where the last position was located on each green.

But more importantly getting to know your greens at any club you choose to make your home is essential to improving your game. If you think about it, putting on the greens usually requires a maximum of two strokes with a putter in order to get your ball into the hole. By understanding the layout of a green and the variances of its slopes, a person gains a better understanding as to how to navigate each stroke played on any particular green.

Your knowledge invariably improves. Another criteria golfers will take into account is the texture of the grass. This is especially important when playing on the greens as this will affect the line the ball takes once the stroke has been played.

Tall uncut grass on greens will invariably push the ball around more whilst on its way to the hole. Orlando Golf Courses offer a unique opportunity to golfers of any caliber. The more you play the better you get and what seemed like an insurmountable challenge becomes a day of fun in the sun.
