I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem where after your swing, the divot flys up into your face/mouth/eyes. I've never had this problem while on the course, only on the driving range. Does that mean that the consistency of driving range turf is different from that of the fairways?

Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
no, it probably means your range is facing east. -
Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
I have been thinking about this since you posted it, trying to figure it out.Originally posted by dekker View Post
I give up.
Why would the range facing east cause the divots to fly up?Comment

Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
Direction of the prevailing winds? Although they are usually west to east. Your divot is going to go forward unless there is some wind blowing it back at you.Comment

A hankerchief tied over the nose and mouth, sunglasses and a touque covering your head and ears........that should do it.

Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
would the range not be facing west? if the winds are coming from the west they would be blowing west to east and hitting you?Originally posted by dekker View PostMEMBER OF THE 2012 AND 2015 RYDER CUP CHAMPS!Comment

Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
Picture this: I'm having a horrendous round of golf. Really feeling down and irritated and cursing the Gods (why me?...stuff like that). I'm standing in the wrong fairway with a bunch of people watching. I pull out a 3w and take a John Daly "I've given up" type of swing at it and a chunk of mud zips up from the ground like a lightning bolt and smacks directly into my right eye and manages to stick there blinding me. I drop the club in stumbling shock and yell out WTF!!!!Originally posted by parseeker View PostOver thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.Comment

Re: Divots flying into mouth/face/eyes
No, I'm not messing with you guys on this one. God knows I try though.
The wind blows primarily east to west in the GTA corridor.
The Prevailing Winds are a global phenomena otherwise known as Trade winds.Comment
