Frequently asked questions
Does cold weather really shorten drives?
Yes. Cold air is denser and the ball is less lively, so carry drops. On a frosty morning you may lose several yards versus a warm afternoon — club up accordingly.
Does altitude really add distance to golf shots?
Yes, noticeably. Thinner air at altitude creates less drag on the ball, and the common rule of thumb is roughly a 2% distance gain for every 1,000 feet of elevation, which is why shots fly famously far in places like Denver.
