"The wind should have no affect on a properly struck golf ball"

Played 9 last night and was talking to a chap in the car park about the recent jaunt to Scotland and the winds we were struggling in.

The above title is what he told me. I asked him, "if the wind doesn't affect the ball, why then did I have to hit driver / 3 wood into a many a 380 yard par 4?" .......he said I must not have hit them very well. I guess we were both right

Any other golfing misnomers to share ????????
