Well. Most storms come from the southwest...so yeah, there's a general fact. But not all storms do, so not a given. I guess I'm just content with being able to tell wind direction with my surroundings in a quick amount of time. Don't see any pros throwing grass mind you.
I've used smoker's exhalations...
To the OP, you did say casual round right? That means you have the CHOICE not to throw with them. If it bothers you so much, find others to play with. There are plenty of people that don't care about wind direction while throwing. You can usually find them in groups of 6-10 people and they are all playing with one disc. Which is usually a Destroyer or Nuke OS that they are throwing about 125 feet. You know, we call them chuckers my friend.
Man, how did I ever take second in the last tourney I played in, I never threw anything in the air to judge wind direction!? I must have been just a lucky "disc chucker" as you say...Sheeshx I'll never learn.
Eh not a big fan of Nikko so no, I don't pay attention to him. But I do watch tourney vids, I pay more attention to wysocki and McBeth as they tend to be better.

I consider casual rounds anything but a tournament. It doesnt really bother me, i just cant figure out why people do it, as i said, unless you are over a 970 rated player i imagine that there are a lot more things than exact wind direction affecting shot placement. I have never checked wind direction, i just moved to a new town, i have played 3 weeks in the league, tied the course record twice, and beat it by 3 strokes. The previous record holder was rated 940. Pretty sure im not a chucker, and pretty sure every no one who checks the wind has ever beaten me in a round
Not a Nikko "fan" either (even though he can throw AND adds entertainment value), just pointing out I see him do the grass grab wind check.
I like several Pros, here is a short list to name a few:
Simon, Avery, Paul, Big Jerm, Feldy and Jussi.
It doesn't bother me at all when people throw grass around. I turn my face directly into the wind to determine direction. To each their own. Living in Texas where the wind will swirl and change directions, I look at the tops of trees and other vegetation down the fairway for wind currents on ahead. Throwing grass really doesn't help you to recognise what's happening down the fairway.
