It's wind baby

The player must take on more of the actual shot because it is more intuitive than analytical (How do you caddie an 8 iron from 120 yards that rolls half the way?)

It's even harder on parkland in this part of the world in the winter. When the wind blows really hard when one is down wind the wind simply blows the ball down so you loose 4 clubs into the wind, who knows how many down wind. Trajectory is king. Links is in fact easier as at least one can guage the ball running; but on parkland one does not have that luxary.
