Caddies Reveal Why the Ball Doesn’t Fly as Far in Winter

As caddies, we see it every season and it’s not just in your head. The science backs it up.

Cold air is denser, which means more resistance on the golf ball as it travels through the air. Combine that with softer ground, heavier clothing, and golf balls that don’t compress as easily in low temperatures, and suddenly your usual 7 iron goes a club shorter.

That’s why the best caddies adjust club selections and course strategy in winter because small changes make a big difference.

Caddies aren’t just there to carry bags. We understand the game, the conditions, and how to help players perform their best all year round.
