Temperature affects golf balls

Titleist does not publish any of this type od ball performance data to the public. I have done a lot of testing over the last 20 years for them as did get to see quite a bit of it during testing.

I would think that the modern balls have closed the weather gap by a little bit.  I never really do see alot of difference in distance, but I rarely play below around 50 deg either.

That's why I just swing a wee bit harder, gotta punish that little white ball?

i would agree with that.  i've never seen any numbers, but being in the northeast, i play when it's in the 30s and when it's over 100.  and i haven't noticed as big of a change in distance as i did when i was a kid.

I tend to take note when the hard buzzing makes its way up the shaft into my hands on the low iron mis-hits that's for sure.  Not much of worse feeling during the winter.

I will say that I find about a 1 to 1 1/2 club difference in distance from +70° to 40°-45°.

There is nothing you can do about cold air being heavier and thus the ball does not travel as far. The same goes for extremely soft fairways

i guess if i'm honest with myself, with the amount of golf i've been playing lately, i probably wouldn't notice a 1 club difference.  i would probably chalk it up to a better or worse swing.  but that's all going to change next year!

or frozen fairways.  you get a good roll when the ground is frozen.  just don't try to take a divot.
