it's gonna be mid 90's here today and will be very humid. we decided to go for a round and I was wondering how much effect does the weather have on golf balls.
I will be using the 2010 Bridgestone E5 today.
Hot weather allows for the ball to fly further. My ratio is 3 yards for every 10 degrees. My yardages are based on 70 degree weather. Thus, if it is 80 degrees, I allow for an extra 3 yards and the opposite if it is 60 degrees. Also, I believe that the ball will fly further in more humid weather, as the air is less dense in more humid conditions. Though, I think the humidity level is far less important than the actual temperature.

When it's raining my golf balls refuse to come out of the golf bag.
Actually the air is MORE dense in high humidity because it's full of water vapors, so the ball travels less. Living in Soutb Texas, we have our 90/90 days.......90 degrees and 90% humidity (hot and wet) on those days I can loose almost a full club to the humidity.

In winter the difference is obvious. The ball doesn't fly nearly as far in the cold as it does in summer. I don't think the humidity has much effect on distance the ball flies. I do think the heat and humidity has an effect on the golfer. I finished with three bogies today in high heat and very high humidity. Three over for the first 15 holes and three over for the last three, I'm blaming being sapped by the heat.
has anyone thought that maybe the ball goes further when it is hot out because you are looser and more flexible then when you are cold, tight and stiff?
The ball might have a little to do with it but I think it is more about the guy swinging the stick..
