With higher winds on the golf course, your target may very well be different than it would be on a calm day.  As you calculate what effect the wind will have on your ball choose your target and make an extra committment to hitting your shot directly to it.  Our common tendencies are to swing somewhat towards our destination which results in more errant shots. 

This can happen while putting as well.  We know the ball will break, but somehow we putt toward the hole or destination.  This results in many putts never starting high enough and they fall to the low side (amateur side) of the hole.

So play like a pro and swing your energy towards your target and let nature bring your ball back to your final destination.
