Here is a snippet from the Golf Travel Guide: Coastal Golf Course Tips CaddyTips®

 Wind & Trajectory
The biggest factor in every coastal round

Coastal wind isn't like inland wind. It swirls, gusts, and changes direction along the way to the green. Your ability to control trajectory will decide your score
more than your ball-striking will. The two shots that win on the coast: a controlled LOW shot into the wind, and a controlled HIGH shot downwind. Into the wind, a knockdown punch with more club lands softer and resists getting ballooned. Downwind, a higher trajectory uses the wind to carry the ball farther while still letting it stop on the green. Ball position is key to helping control the trajectory - before your round, practice placing the ball back in your stance for a low shot and slightly up in your stance for a high shot

Two rules that save strokes. First: when in doubt, check the flag AND the treetops - they often disagree, and the trees usually win. Second: always take an extra club into wind. The biggest amateur mistake is muscling a normal club selection into a stiff breeze.

CaddyTips®:  When the wind is up, play to the FAT of every green. Pin-hunting in the wind is how big numbers
can happen easily.
