Windsight
I don't know how dense the proposed nets for the golf range are but they may
be more of a wind barrier than you would expect. Suprisingly barriers like
picket fences and open bushes block the wind for a greater distance than a
solid barrier likke a hill or a building. This happens because the pressure
drops behing a building as the wind races around the obstruction. This in
turn causes the wind to back eddy and fill in behind the building after a
relatively short distance. With an more oprn obstruction this phenomenon does
not occur and the wind is measuralbly and significantly lighter at a greater
distance down wind.
