Please explain. The entire premise of an average is the low points, high points, AVERAGE out

Yes there is mishits, but there is also nukes

Yes there is agaisnt wind, but there is also with the wind. With data, the average helps to neutralize outliers on both ends of the spectrum, hence average

The term take out doesn’t literally mean remove them, it means they AVERAGE OUT So the average number becomes the most expected outcome

Playing into the wind has more effect on your golf ball than playing downwind. Most golfers don’t realise that the wind has far more effect on your golf ball when playing into the wind than it does from any other direction. As an example if you are playing in a 30mph wind, a drive that is hit directly into the wind will usually lose around 55 yards of carry. If you hit the same drive with the same 30mph wind behind you, your drive will only carry around 25 yards further. Playing into the wind also accentuates any slice or hook spin on the ball causing the ball to veer further offline. Playing downwind actually reduces the effect of any sidespin and keeps your ball more online.
