Stop guessing in the wind. Know your real yardage.
Enter your shot distance, wind direction, wind speed, elevation change and temperature. We’ll tell you the adjusted yardage you should actually play to — based on real ball-flight physics, not pub wisdom.
Every golfer faces the same problem on a windy day: the pin says 150 yards but the wind is into your face — what club should you hit? The standard advice you’ve heard for years (“add one club per 10mph of wind”, “club up twice for a strong headwind”) is based on rules of thumb that overstate the effect for most amateurs.
This tool gives you the real answer. Enter your shot distance, the wind direction and speed, the elevation change to your target, and the temperature. The math runs instantly using actual ball-flight data from PGA Tour shot tracking — the same data the pros use. You get a specific adjusted yardage, a club recommendation, the type of shot to play (full, knockdown, three-quarter), and a pro tip on where to aim.
The honest finding most golfers don’t know: headwind effect is closer to 1% per mph than the 1.5% that gets passed around. Taking two extra clubs into a 15 mph wind, the common advice, actually overshoots the green by 8-12 yards for most amateurs. The right answer is usually one extra club plus a smoother swing
