yeah totally
The way a golf ball bounces definitely affects the distance that it will travel. There are different weights and types of golf balls for this reason.
The greater the bounciness of a golf ball, the more energy it retains upon impact with the club. This results in higher initial velocity and longer distance traveled. Golf balls with higher elasticity or compression will generally travel farther than those with lower bounciness.
The two key aspects of a golf club that affect the distance and flight pattern of a golf ball are the clubhead design and the loft angle. The clubhead design influences the aerodynamics and impact efficiency, while the loft angle determines the launch angle and spin rate of the ball. Together, these factors impact how far and high the ball travels after being struck.
All clubs put backspin on the ball (unless you totally duff it). As the ball moves though the air with backspin lift is created. This is called the Magnus effect, it is similar to Bernoulli affect. The spinning creates a pressure differential and thus lift. As to whether or not a ball releases, checks, or spins back upon landing is dependent upon several variables: Spin rate upon landing, angle of decent, angle of the surface, ball velocity, hardness of the ground, and the coefficient of friction between the ball and the landing surface. ANSWER: Back spin on a golf ball causes the golf ball to spin backwards as it travels away from the person who hit the ball. Hitting a golf ball with a back spin will allow the golf ball to travel a great distance with a high arc. Setting a golf ball in motion with a back spin also will help to bring the ball to a stop when it hits the ground.

Yes
A golf ball can be used in any weather. When it is cold you should use a distance ball, just to give you a bit more distance, but you sacrifice some control.
Hit the ball as hard as you can!
It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.
No, logos on golf balls do not affect the playability of the ball in anyway.
A golf ball hit on the moon travels much farther than one hit on Earth primarily due to the moon's lower gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's. This reduced gravity means that the ball experiences less downward force, allowing it to stay in the air longer and travel farther. Additionally, the absence of an atmosphere on the moon eliminates air resistance, further enhancing the ball's distance. Combined, these factors result in significantly longer trajectories for golf balls on the moon compared to Earth.
