Orlando Golf Courses And Wind

By Patty Summers


Orlando Golf Courses offers the golfer the perfect opportunity in refining their game on some of the most spectacular courses found in this part of the United States of America. It is a city located in the eastern part of the country and is located just off the Atlantic Ocean. Because of this Orlando boasts some of the most challenging and scenic courses that golf has to offer.

With this in mind you will now be able to gauge more or less what the wind will be doing on every hole. This is useful should you already have a conception of the layout of each hole as to its distance to the pin, where pot bunkers are located or obstacles such as tall palm trees that must be avoided. Keeping your trajectory low at all times is essential whilst guiding your ball through eighteen holes as invariably courses such as these have long thick grass which encompass the roughs.

Roughs are that part of a course that demarcate the boundary of the fairway. For novice golfers playing under severe conditions these roughs made up typically of tall thick and bush grasses and vegetation can be defeating. It is best advised to play one of the many other courses dotted around the City of Orlando that offer less challenging game.

Some players will take precautionary measures and usually chip the ball out of bunkers such as these onto the fairway where they have a better chance of playing their next shot closer the pin. Wind conditions make playing courses such as these a challenge as golfers find themselves having to play low trajectory shots. This is common practice as one will want to take out the forces or minimize the forces that act on the ball as it flies through the air.

Should you not know what a rough is and have never heard of this term before, it is an area of the course that typically demarcates the fairway on any given hole. Fairways by nature are cut and manicured to perfection so that playing off them is a whole lot easier. This is why you will want to stick to the fairways as you navigate your way around a link course.

But more importantly getting to know your greens at any club you choose to make your home is essential to improving your game. If you think about it, putting on the greens usually requires a maximum of two strokes with a putter in order to get your ball into the hole. By understanding the layout of a green and the variances of its slopes, a person gains a better understanding as to how to navigate each stroke played on any particular green.

Starting off at hole one through to hole nine, layouts of these styled courses are often laid out such that the first nine holes will head you off in one direction. Playing the back nine will find you walking in the direction of the club house which is your end destination. The point here being is that the wind conditions will change when you turn around and head back to the club house.

Tall uncut grass on greens will invariably push the ball around more whilst on its way to the hole. Orlando Golf Courses offer a unique opportunity to golfers of any caliber. The more you play the better you get and what seemed like an insurmountable challenge becomes a day of fun in the sun.
