Okay so a little background info: I work at a golf course and usually i'll get off work around 7 ish so instead of getting all of my clubs together i'll just grab my wedges and a few irons to go hit some balls after work. My Pitching wedge distance has always been 140, gap wedge 125, and 60 degree 105. For some reason in the past 2 weeks my pitching wedge has been down to about 130, gap wedge 115, and 60 degree about 95.... after experimenting with a few other clubs it seems to me that ALL of my iron distances have gone down about 10 yards or about a full club. Nothing has changed with my swing, i typically always hit prov1 or b330-s golf balls. i consider myself a pretty decent golfer but far from scratch. the absolutely only thing i have come up with is that a few weeks ago i played and it was about 80 degrees and humid outside after i went out to play... for the past few weeks since then its been about 55 degrees outside and not humid at all. ( i live in michigan ). does temperature and humidity really have this much affect on your iron/wedge distances or is it something with my swing? Please help!!!


My vote is for your swing without seeing it. I lost 20-30% distance on all my clubs because my shoulder turn and right arm got lazy without knowing it... Is ball flight different?

30 degrees of temps and a change in humidity can certainly make a noticeable difference. A light breeze, same deal. Probably could add up to 10 yards.

But crying over losing 10 yards? Who cares. Probably a bit of an off day that you're paranoid over. I routinely hit my clubs a bit short on days when I don't feel my best, or don't swing with the same gusto. Welcome to winter.

I guess I came off a little different that i intended. The 10 yards to me doesn't really matter, what i was wondering was if it was something i was doing or if it had to do with humidity and temperature (therefore being something i cant even control). But i agree, 10 yards is no big deal, i just wanted to assure myself it wasn't anything that changed in my swing. Thank you for the help!

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
