What's in my bag for Kansas?

Kansas courses on paper look similar to Texas courses with some opportunities to boom some long drives. But wind can be a major factor in Emporia with speeds reaching over 30mph. Note that many of the course reviews say things like a score in the high 50s will reward a good round unless the winds are blowing and then you are praying to stay in the 80s!

Glass Blown Open 2012 - The Wind Putt

Here is a cool video from the 2012 Glass Blown Open showing the effect of wind on discs.
