D=cor/(t+w)-tx4rootL/s metres.

That's how I work it out.

A golf ball is designed to work best at 70 degrees farenheit. Above that temperature there is no discernable improvement in performance.
For every 3 degrees below 70 you will lose 1 yard of carry purely down to temperature.
So at 32F (0C) you will lose 12.67 yards compared to exactly the same shot at 70F.

How do you know this stuff??

I've been playing for thirty years and all I know is get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible.

As a whole, I'm very impressed with the knowledge levels on this forum.

A. Coz I'm a smartarse
B. Google's a wonderful thing Baby!!

I tend to hit a fairly high ball and as a result dont get as much run out as most other folks, in fact My ball usually stops within a foot or so of the landing mark it made. I just need to make more fairways and i'll be happy.

I played last week and even the drives I caught well were about 40yds down on what I'd expect in the summer.

My short irons were about half a club down. Can't say on the long irons because I didn't hit one well.
