It really depends on how hard the wind is blowing. For a mild to medium breeze (5-15mph or so), I usually just swing 'wide and smooth' - really focus on extensor action and not 'speed'. More than other shots, back and through 'feel' the same tempo. Smooooooooth.

For a heavy wind, a driver 'knock down' is fairly easy to do if you practice a bit. Either a 'stinger' shot, low hard fade or simply a 3/4 driver choked down about an inch, slightly back with a very low running draw. Driver 'punch shots' can be useful too, choke down a lot for those. Again - smooooooth tempo is the key in the wind.
