PostSubject: Golf ball fly further on a hot day....   Golf ball fly further on a hot day.... EmptyFri Oct 22, 2010 2:03 pm

As everyone knows that on a hot day, hot air raises and cold air sinks under....so when UL hit a drive on a hot day (36deg C), does the hot air lifted his ball higher and carry it further than his usual 200m ???Suspect

What if UL played on a raining day without lighting and thunder, after he hit his drive, does the rain and the cold air pushes his ball downward and cos him to lose distance to 185m ???

Like a rare cause....UL hits his ball on a 90 psi Hazy day, does the haze dirt particles block his ball airflow and cos it to slice, hook and lost distance in the final result ???

I wonder ???????

One more question to add. On a hazy day, does the dirt particles reduces the air drag and coz UL's 9 iron to hit 140m? Golf ball fly further on a hot day.... 143931

Hot weather makes us angry and agitated = more power, more distance
Cold weather makes us comfortable and calm = less power - less distance
Hazy weather makes us blurr = slice, hook

this 1 is more like a physics qn lei...

hot air -> less dense -> lesser air molecules per unit volume -> lesser resistance. hence ball will travel/carry further...

also, hotter objects (golf balls/ clubheads) will have higher elasticity (COR, coefficient of restitution) so it helps too...

and rain drops will increase resistance...

The ball is the same whether sunny day or raining day...

On hot day, the ground is dry.. ball can bounce further, hence distance longer..

Raining day, the water is falling onto the ball, got down force and making ball heavier, hence less air borne... also fairway is wet.. tend to absorb energy, plug and less roll...

My Old Boys said when they played in Kunming China, in the high mountains or high level above sea level, the air is think and they could drive 30m to 40m more !

Make sense ???
