Between 35 degrees and 100 degrees I am guessing there might be as much as a 20% difference in driver distance.

Really curious to hear what you guys think.
The ball carries further when it is humid. Many baseball players will tell you the ball carries further in humid conditions. In the summer, I know my teeshots carry further in Texas than in California.

I'll dig up the info I came across on the impact of humidity on carry provided it isn't already boxed up for an upcoming move.
