GOLFWRX - Play better in the wind article

[ericpaul2]

Great article. I found it interesting that you didn't notice any significant correlation with apex height and wind effect (or at least didn't mention it either way). In particular, I would think drivers with positive versus negative angles of attack would see a difference in apex height and therefore receive more of a "effect" due to the wind. Attached which shows that wind speed increases expoentially with height. A difference of 10 m could be significant at higher wind speeds.

There wasn't anything in the metrics that showed any trend with Apex Height. I'm guessing you could theoretically get a long hitter who naturally hits it high due to their club speed and then they could keep the ball low on a windy day and/or hit the ball so far that it still provides them an advantage.
