How often should you change your golf ball?

How often should you change your golf ball?

It is important to remember that you can only change balls once you have finished the hole. If you notice a major scuff on the ball do not exchange the ball because it is a two-stroke penalty in a stroke play event. You should also make sure to tell your playing partners when you change golf balls.

Does it matter if golf balls freeze?

It is certainly not a good idea to hit a ball when it is at freezing temperatures, because this will not only cause damage to the ball but probably the club as well, never mind the potential damage to your body if you are not warmed up properly.

Why does a golf ball go further in summer?

When the air temperature increases in the summer, air density decreases. Less dense atmospheric conditions mean a golf ball will travel further in space. And if you think humidity will slow down ball speed then think again. Hot, humid Southern air decreases air density even more so you’ll produce even longer shots.

Can you store golf clubs in the cold?

If the location is humidity- and temperature-controlled, yes. Otherwise, no. If your garage is not temperature-controlled, then don’t store golf clubs there over a winter. Constant exposure to cold won’t damage the clubhead or shaft, but could dry out the grips and cause them to harden or crack.

How much does cold weather affect golf ball distance?

Cold air is denser than warm air and creates additional drag on a ball. According to Trackman, the difference is approximately one yard of carry for every 10-degree change in temperature. So theoretically, you’re looking at a loss of four yards if you’re playing in 40 degrees as opposed to 80 degrees.

Both range balls are flying lower and shorter than the Snell MTB Black. They’re in the ballpark, but there is a difference in performance. With the 7-iron I start to see more significant differences. The same trends hold up, but the discrepancies are much larger.
