In this video, you’ll learn how to putt when it is windy.

You’ll get some great tips about what adjustments you need to make with your setup and putting stroke.

First, you’ll want to widen your stance a bit if you normally putt with a narrow stance.

A good measurement would be to have your feet 2 inches wider than your shoulders.

With a wider stance, you should have plenty of stability even if a 20 mph gust of wind hits you.

Second, if you normally grip near the top of the putter, grip down 3 or 4 inches to increase the feeling of more control.

Third, consider the distance of the putt.

If it’s within 10 feet, the wind won’t affect the break much at all unless you fancy playing a round during a hurricane (probably not a good idea).

Past 10 feet though, you may want to adjust slightly for a cross wind that’s over 10 mph.

Putting into the wind won’t affect your distance much, so don’t feel that you have to whack the putt.

This may not sound right, but remember that we’re all accustomed to hitting iron shots into the wind that lose tons of distance…

So it’s tempting to think that putting into the wind would kill our putts.

On the greens, the wind won’t affect the distance as much as you think.
