In this episode, Jon and Adam break down how golfers should adjust when wind, rain, cold, and other tough conditions start changing the game. They explain why headwinds hurt more than tailwinds help, how wind magnifies curvature and distance errors, and why simply taking more club is often a better option than trying to manufacture specialty shots. They also discuss how rain and cold can affect ball flight, distance, swing speed, and even the way your body moves, along with the importance of having the right gear and warming up properly. Just as important, they explain why expectations need to change when the weather gets difficult and why fighting the conditions usually makes things worse. The goal is to treat bad weather as a different challenge, make smarter adjustments, and keep a tough round from getting away from you.
