I enjoy the cooler temperatures and I am less likely to sweat during the round. I dislike the extra leaves all over the place and if possible will try to play courses that are a little more open. I joke with my friends that each time we play in that weather I am going to bring my leaf blower, but can't bring myself to do it!
People do this but i never understood it. Imo you should play the same ball with the exception of being concerned for losing a lot of them in the leaves and therefore may want to use a cheaper option. As for compression? Imo if you need and benefit from using a softer ball in the cooler weather then you also need one in the warmer weather.A bit off topic. Do any of you switch to a lower compression ball for cooler temps?
I’m seeing more “soft” balls with vivid matte colors. Thinking about trying one.
I'm sure the course would frown on that.
Haha I only saw the last picture and I thought that was John Daly!I love the fall golf. I'm heading up to the cabin Friday morning for a boys golf weekend with 3 buddies. We'll play 72+ holes in 3 days and the weather looks perfect with mid 70's. Here are a few pics from a couple of years ago of the same fall golf trip. The second and third pictures are of the 223 yard (246 from the back tees) par 3 15th where the guy in the American shorts made a HIO the first time he played that hole 12 years ago.

For me I play chromesoft and use to play e6. Either way are both softer core balls anyway. But I have seen nor can find any real proof that intentionally using softer ball in the cold is more beneficial nor that it doesnt lose as much (relatively speaking) distance as its harder cousins because either ball get cold and are affected the same anyway. Plus (by changing balls) your changing the characteristics of the ball you normally play. Imo you shouldn't do this just because its cold out. There is no hard factual evidence (that i know of) on any of this theory that we should change to lower compression. It seems more a placebo affect than anything else. If you truly beleive you benefit from a softer ball in the cold, then you should also benefit in the warm too. Unless there is factual proof otherwise (which i do not yet know about).
