I don't understand your statement that everything is plane-oriented. Anthony Kim has an incredible ability to swing on-plane, but I don't think that doing so causes some other part of his swing action to be deficient. Do you?
What do you mean when you ask about working on the physics?
I am not consciously masochistic like you - I do not enjoy playing in wet 38 degrees weather with heavy winds blowing. I have played in Ireland or Scotland every year for the past 4 years, and the wind there causes me immense trouble. I recall one hole in Ireland that was only 320 yards in length, but the wind velocity was >40mph. I hit a perfectly executed drive which only traveled 150 yards. I then hit a really solid three wood and the ball went about 100 yards. I finally hit a perfect 8 iron that traveled 60 yards. I missed my par putt. I personally don't enjoy the experience of hitting the ball (as well as I can) and having to hit three well struck shots in order to reach a 320 yard hole.

I'm sorry that I wasn't very clear. It seems like everything with regard to your swing versus Kim is Plane oriented. Do you ever compare the Face-On characteristics to check the physics? I've had students that have come to me with excellent geometry (On Plane) and they couldn't hit it out of their shadow.
As far as you not being a masochist, I think you just gave your secret away. Although, I do like the way you slipped the word consciously in there. You've played every year for 4 years! If you don't like the pain, why would you keep going back?
The only other alternative is that you're an eternal optimist (crazy). You would have to believe that the weather there was going to be better next year. Good luck with that.
