Does a golf ball fly farther in hot or cold?

Answer 1

A hot ball would travel farther, assuming the same volume of air is within both. This is because the warm air would expand, creating pressure within the ball. The more firm the ball is, the less force it absorbs on impact, which causes the energy to be converted into momentum.

Answer 2

A Golf ball fly further in warmer air than cooler air due to the friction caused by denser cold air. Playing in colder temperatures you should club down to increase carry lost due to temperature variable

Answer 3

A warmer golf ball goes further, you cannot warm it up though because that is not allowed under the rules of golf.
