There are many factors that can affect your way golf reacts when it hits it. Temperature, humidity, wind and even height all play a role in how far your ball flies.
Among these factors, the rise is probably what most recreation players have the slightest experience they deal with. Everyone has played golf with variable weather conditions, but not everyone has traveled to different premises of different heights.
As a general rule, the higher the height, the longer your ball flies. A few years back, Title conducted a study This found that for every 1,000 meters of height profit, the ball flies 1.2% further away. This means at 5,000 meters (as in, to say, Denver) your ball will hold approximately 6 percent away (a 200-tier shot will fly 212 yards). These numbers will change based on other factors, but this is a good place to start.
This week, players’ players in circuit are taking it to the Golf Club de Chapultepec-the previous WGC-Mexico-MEXICA championship house which decreases to 7,835 meters above sea level. Golf balls will be flying This week.
Before Liv Mexico City, some players were asked about the keys to playing Golf at high altitude. Look at their answers below.
1. Call in your numbers
If you walk in tee 1, without getting a feeling for your carriage distances in the range before, you are setting yourself for failure. As we have noticed above, your stock holding numbers are likely to differ from what you are used to.
“You will see many boot monitors in the range and in the golf course,” Abraham aer He said “everyone tries to understand their formula how to attack the height, because for some people it can be 10 percent, perhaps for the big hitmen who really hit it, really far and high, can be 15, 17 percent.”
You may not have access to a boot monitor before you go out, but at least you have to go to the range and get a feeling for how far the ball is flying. It can be the difference between a entertainment round and a day of disappointment.
2. Commit to your shots
With the ball that flies longer than you are used to, it can be mentally challenging to pull your foot after you are above the ball. With a shorter club in your hand than you are used to, it can be easy to doubt yourself and make a rhythm intact.
“The most important part for me is to engage before hitting every blow because sometimes it’s hard to believe you can hit a 190 -foot 50 degree,” David Puig says. “I’m not used to it. So performing will be a super important factor.”
