When it comes to winds, you have to consider several things. Let's make an example by taking 2 opposite wind scenarios. 14 wind at 6 o' clock and 14 at 12 o' clock.
Fact number 1:
When you have a heavy facewind the ball gets a higher trajectory meanwhile on a tailwind gets a lower trajectory.*
That means for sure that wind affects the ball in the first case but also means that your ball stays in the air longer. So...when you have a heavy facewind, all you have to do is to try a dart shot. Practicing will give you the necessary distance and club's choice on your strokes.
Tailwinds are definitely harder to play because you have to consider not the flag point but the first bounce of the ball. Then you have to calculate how many yards will roll by applying a certain percentage of back spin on your ball.
* To make this point clearer, try to drive on the 10th hole at Olympic using these two scenarios. You will find out that meanwhile with heavy facewind and full back spin on your ball you can clear easily the trees before you using your driver, on a tailwind you will hit them every time (sometime will pass if you are really lucky). So...in order to drive there with heavy tail, use your 3wd full back spin of course.
High trajectory makes all the difference in approach shots, that's why tailwinds are tougher to handle. A high spin ball will compensate things but will not eliminate entirely the problem.
