    do you add or subtract the elevation-the lie and the wind for this shot?

    If the shot's downhill & downwind, club down.

    If the shot's uphill & upwind, club up?

    Any more questions?

    Aye, it's one or the other, not sure which.

    Well....

    For up elevations you add yardage, for down the opposite. For headwinds you add yards, for tail winds you subtract yards.  For crosswinds you divide the wind into vertical and horizontal components and adjust accordingly.

    Now, I'm an old effer.  Back in my day, one would have learned to figure this out by the sixth grade. I realize it's different now, for some reason. Mathematics is for figuring out how low to drop your jeans, how much underwear to show, and whether the underwear should exhibit substantial brown spots.

    There's also the question of how much you should pay for a dime bag. Modern life is really tough.

    Yes.

    Depending on how far away you are from the pin though, the wind may not matter very much.

    Yes, you will add or subtract the Elevation and the Lie.

    Nice and precise replies, just like the original question, direct and to the point.

    Clear as mud.
