My understanding is that each day two holes are used for the average drive statistic. The holes are chosen such that one is into the wind and one is downwind if at all possible. Also, if elevation change is involved one would be uphill and the other downhill. While it is inexact at best, they do try to average out the effects of terrain and weather.
