PRO TIP

"Trade winds are a fact of life in Hawaii. The harder the wind blows, the harder most try to hit the ball. In reality, it is exactly the opposite. Playing into the wind, you want as little spin as possible, so that the ball has a dead flight through the air, rather than a spinning flight through the air. It’s a technique that will serve you well."

– Jack Nicklaus
