The Use of Windsocks in Outdoor Sports (Aussie Edition 🇦🇺)

Whether you’re having a hit on the tennis court, launching a frisbee on a disc golf course, or working your way through 18 holes—wind matters. Understanding wind direction and speed can seriously improve your game.

That’s where a windsock comes in handy. It’s a simple tool that can give you a big edge—on the course or on the court.

Windsocks on the Golf Course or Driving Range

“When it’s breezy, swing easy.”
You’ve probably heard that one on the green. Wind affects everything in golf—from ball flight to distance, spin and direction.

Trouble is, it’s hard to judge wind properly without the right tool. Sure, you can toss a few blades of grass or eye off the treetops, but that won’t give you consistent, reliable info.

Enter the golf windsock—a simple, effective tool found on many Aussie golf courses and driving ranges. It’s usually mounted on a short pole near the tee or green, and often carries a club logo or sponsor branding.

A fully inflated sock shows strong wind; a floppy one shows low speed. And wherever it’s pointing? That’s your wind direction. Smart players will even scan multiple windsocks across the course to understand shifting winds from hole to hole. A quick glance could help you save a shot—or win the day.

Windsocks on Racket Sport Courts

Wind can absolutely throw you off in racket sports. Tennis, pickleball, outdoor badminton and even table tennis are all affected by gusts and breezes.

Having a windsock nearby gives players a quick and reliable check on conditions—before they even serve.

If the wind’s at your back, ease up on your swing. If it’s in your face, go harder. With a windsock, you can adjust strategy on the fly—and pick the smarter end of the court when serving or choosing sides.

Lots of Aussie clubs, public sports complexes and backyard courts are installing windsocks for this very reason. See our Tennis and sports Windsocks here
