One of the joys of playing golf is dealing with the elements. Learning to play golf in the wind is an important part of the game. A strong wind is about the only thing that can really knock a world-class golfer off their game. If it becomes so windy that a golf ball will not remain at rest then the course would need to be closed until the wind subsides. This is one reason why links courses don’t tend to have especially fast greens since it is common for strong winds at the seaside and play would have to be suspended regularly if greens were maintained at very quick speeds.
