Golf balls do NOT fly farther in cold weather. Anyone who's played golf for several seasons can vouch. But here's the scientific proof.
A chart from the PGA Manual of Golf by Dr. Gary Wiren.
Carry Temp
224 95* F
222 85* F
220 75* F
216 65* F
214 55* F
205 45* F
186 35* F
Also, dry colder air is denser and heavier than hot air (which rises) - which causes more drag, reducing ball flight.

∙ 10y agothe air molecules in the warmer ball move faster. when you kick a ball, the ball changes it's shape and regains it (kind of like a spring). So,the faster moving molecules push the ball back to it's original shape faster, therefore, exerting more force.

Does the hotter the temperature of the puck the farther it goes?
Temperature can affect a couple of different variables in a ball to alter the distance it will travel from an impact. For inflated balls, the temperature can change the air pressure inside the ball giving an over inflated effect if it was warmed, or and under inflated effect if it was cold. (Have you ever tried dribbling a basketball without enough air in it?) The amount of air pressure then is directly proportional to the temperature of the air inside.
Which is correct cold or cold weather?
Cold.People cannot live in cold weather as in the North pole and south pole.
What type of weather does the passage of a cold front produce?
high winds and cold weather
Is a adelie penguin a cold weather penguin or weather penguins?
It is a cold water penguin
Can bat die in cold weather?
Actually a bat can fly and live in cold weather up to 30 degrees.
Is north cold or hot?
North America has both hot and cold weather. The farther north you go, the colder the winters are. The farther south you travel, the hotter the summers are.
Why do cold golf balls not travel as far?
i dunno. i tryed it will my own balls it worked surprisingly :) but dont use warm balls as they are very soft and sweaty :/
Why cant snow balls be made in very cold weather?
because they are made of powder-like.
Does a baseball travel faster in hot weather then cold weather?
yes, molecules are spread out during hot weather giving a baseball less resistence while traveling through the air. In cold weather, molecules and more dense, thus, making it harder for the baseball to travel. -Vic J
Golf balls to use in winter?
I would suggest a firmer golf ball. They tend to bounce further on frozen ground. Softer golf balls give less of an advantage than in the summer because they do not compress as much when in contact with the club during cold weather.
When do golf balls travel further when it is hot or when it is cold or when it is raining?
it really depends on the weather conditions. you have to take both wind,rain and hardness of the ground into consideration how far a ball travels depends on how much the ball reacts off the face of the club, its called the trampoline effect. The harder you swing, the more the ball is compressed at impact and that translates into how fast it leaves the clubface or springs off the clubface. If you can't compress the ball it won't spring off the face so it won't go anywhere. That being said if its winter the ball is really hard and you can't compress it. A ball will travel the farthest on a warm sunny day. I am a PGA TOUR caddy so I really need to know this so I can club my player. If we play in the morning and its cool, we need to take a 1/2 club to sometimes a full club more.
Do baseballs fly farther when cold as opposed to hot?
i don't know if the temperature of the baseball itself affects it's flight time, but i have noticed that balls do fly futher when the -air- is hot, as opposed to cold
Does Sound wave travel slowest through a hot materials or a cold materials?
Hot, because the molecules in the material are farther apart, at least in a gas
Why is it cold as balls?
because, balls like you.
What is Uranus weather?
Uranus's weather is cold
How do you throw a baseball farther?
You build your fore arm and bicep muscles. A baseball travels farther in hot weather than in cold weather. Also, whenever you throw, whatever strength you have and whatever the weather is like, you'll get the maxumum distance out of your throw if you aim it 45 degrees above the horizon ... half-way up between level and straight up over your head.
Is it better to get the cold in hot or cold weather?
Hot weather
