Well the warmer it is the easier and further the ball flies.

Does heat effect the distance a golf ball travels?
Yes it does. If it is warmer the ball will go further, also if you are higher up the ball will go further as the air is thinner. When its cold it is better to heat up your golf ball before you play as it will go further.
Does the temperature of the golf ball affect its rebound?
A warmer ball will come off the clubface with more velocity and spin than a colder ball, encouraging loft. The ball's temperature also has an effect on bounce. Heat gives the ball more elasticity, creating a ball that bounces more and travels longer.
Is heating golf balls against the rules?
Yes, you would be disqualified for doing so. This is because you are changing the playability of the golf ball, which means it no longer conforms to the rules of golf. Not! You cannot heat or cool the ball DURING play. Preconditioning the ball prior to the round is ok. You are not going to affect the ball enough to change it's rules conformity. You've probably heard it's not a good idea to leave graphite shafted clubs in cold conditions. Well, bringing them in the house is preconditioning, right? It's ok. I leave my golf balls on a heat register the previous day and over night if I'm going to play a cold round.
Will heat deflate or inflate a ball?
Heat rises it will inflate a ball. The cold will deflate a ball
Does the momentum change or stay the same when a golf club hits the golf ball?
The energy of the moving club slows, because some energy must be transferred to the ball. (the second law of thermodynamics will show this). It even slows as it travels through the air, because of entropy, and energy being released into the air in the form of small amounts of heat.
Will different heights affect the bounce of the ball?
The height you drop the ball from will affect the bounce height this is because as the drop height increases so does the bounce height it is all to do with energy transfers. Also the waste energy is the sound and heat energy hope this helps.
Can you play golf on Venus?
Sure--pack your bags and we'll send you right up...brig a gas mask and suit to protect you from the poisonous atmosphere ad incredible heat, and don't forget that the ever-present clouds of poisonous gas will obscure your vision completely, thus causing you to loose your ball, miss the hole, and shoot WAY over par on every hole...but you LIKE a challenge, right? You can't play golf on Venus because in space there is no gravity. if you went to go play golf on Venus the ball would just be floating around unless you have a very heavy golf ball A gravity-less environment does not exist on Venus so your golf ball will drop to the surface same as on any other planet. In a gravity-free environment, the weight of the ball will not matter at all.
How does heat affect the movement of molecules in a rubber?
Heat does not affect it. It expands with coolness. It contracts with heat.
How can heat affect the state of an object?
Heat can affect the molecular composition of an object.
What is a heatball?
A Ball Of Heat (:
How does heat affect salt?
How salt dissolve in heat
How does metal react to heat?
Heat makes a metal expand. If you take a metal ball and an metal loop that the ball fits in and then heat the ball and try to put it back in the loop it will not go back through. :)
