We often hear a wind described as a one-club or two-club wind. But the actual impact on distance is more significant with a headwind than a tailwind. Golf Digest tests showed a particular wind speed taking 17 yards OFF the distance on ball strikes into the wind. When the wind was behind the golfer, it only added about 66% of that.
