  You going to use topspin, no spin or backspin? Full shot or punch? There are numerous variations to consider, including club and ball quality.

  Exactlie..

  I take the Pin on the point where i think thats the right shot now. Dont calculate to much, that confused without limit. To find the right feeling thats importend.

  Play now only with WGT standart balls. And find also the way to have big rounds here.

  Too many variables to consider, trajectory, strength of wind, elevation,spin, club and ball quality.

  Hit the same shot a thousand times and use the mean as your guide.

  I guess how much the wind will knock down the shot, and how much the wind will push the shot left or right, and how much the curve will affect my distance, adjust my distance accordingly, then hook or slice it enough to compensate for the wind directionally, and hope when I hit the pin, it doesn't bounce too far away ;)

  I'm a pretty good guesser.

  one third of the wind speed in yds

  I don't have a formula but 1/3 of the wind speed as a correction gets close. More for straight ahead or behind,  a little less as the wind approaches 3 or 9 o'clock.
