Golf Club Distances Change with Temperature

  Most players underclub when hitting to the green, thus there balls fall short. This is partially due to expecting to hit their best shot (something which is rare for most), but it is also greatly influenced by environmental conditions such as air temperature, wind and air pressure.

I often conduct polls on my site. In a poll which asked the questions, "What percentage of your iron shots fall short of your target?", out of 425 players, 52% said their balls fall short of the target over 50% of the time.

  I can use my computer golf ball projectile model to calculate club distances under any weather conditions. I offer visitors to my site a service which provides them with a matrix describing the different distances that shots from various clubs will hit given the air temperature changes (and any other factors you'd like considered).

Humidity = 80%, Temperature = 25 degrees Celsius, Air Pressure = 101 kPa at sea level with no wind

One interesting point to note is that the maximum height of the driver isn't much less than that of a 9-iron. From the perspective of the player, the driver appears to travel lower, the reason being that the ball is so much farther away when it reaches maximum height, it appears lower.

 

 

  Send me the distances (carry only) for each of your clubs, and I'll send you a matrix of your club distances for temperatures ranging between 35 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (that's about 2 to 44 degrees Celsius).

The matrix will look like the table below. I've put in my club ranges for 75 degrees F. For only $15.99, I'd provide you with the complete matrix for your own, unique club ranges. I call this your "club print."

Wind Caddy App

From the team that brought you the top selling app Wind Meter, GoingApps is happy to introduce Wind Caddy. Wind Caddy helps the golfer always select the right club for the conditions. Wind Caddy works by collecting 4 inputs and recommending a club and correct Aim for the hole based on a proprietary algorithm developed by professional Golf Caddy and avid golfer Ken Tannar of www.probablegolfinstruction.com.

Wind Caddy will advise you on aim, distance and club so that you can play the wind successfully. It takes the guess work out of club selection.

Golf Club Distances Change with Elevation

Do you ever play on courses at different elevations? Say you mainly play at courses at sea level, on a coastline. If you travel inland, courses are typically at higher elevations. At higher elevations, the air is air pressure is less, the air is thinner, and thus the ball travels farther.

For instance, there are now many excellent, beautiful courses in the mountains throughout the world that are at high elevations. In the U.S., this includes courses in Colorado, California, Nevada (Lake Tahoe). In Canada, many of the courses in British Columbia are well above sea level. Click on the following link to see elevations of various places in the U.S.    U.S. Elevations

Send me the distances (carry only) for each of your clubs, and I'll send you a matrix of your club distances at elevations from sea level to 10 000 ft. Club selection is so important to good golf. It's tough enough hitting the right club the proper distance; hitting the wrong club is even tougher.

Know your playing distances at different elevations and score lower. Not all clubs are affected the same amount so you'll find my matrix extremely helpful.

The matrix will look like the table below. I've put in my club ranges for sea level. For only $15.99, I'd provide you with the complete matrix for your own, unique club ranges. I call this your "club print."

Click on this secure link to pay, then email me your club ranges, and I'll get your matrix to you within 2 days.

Or, if you like, get a discount on purchasing both matrices (temperature & elevation) for only $24.99. Use this secure link to pay for both matrices.
