iron distance

Posted by: user266903 | Sun 7th Mar 2010 18:23 | Last Reply

1.  when  hitting 7,8,9,wedges do you ever hit full power.

2.  is it possible to loose distance over 2-3 months.  I have not played much over the winter (obviously) I have not been to the driving range much either.  i played yesterday and was continually hitting my shots short.

Air becomes denser the colder it gets, in fact between air at 0°C is 7.5% denser than at 20°C and assuming a rough correlation between density and distance means your steady 150yd 7 iron will only go 139yds.  Interestingly, air with mositure is less dense than without, but the water molecules act as a physical barrier.

God, that's a bit dull..
