Weather in the UK has been awful - Have a browse through DCB's post about course conditions & you'll see what I mean - But this week it suddenly turned from Winter to Summer, completely by-passing Spring
At the range on Sunday it was about 12* - I played yesterday in a club match & it was 23* - Typical of golfers, some were complaining about the heat! - Personally I'd rather be too hot than too wet ...
I went to the range this morning at 9am and it was 19* already with 27* expected this afternoon (not good for my pasty Irish complexion!)
The warmer conditions have a huge affect on my swing / carry distance & as I use MEVO on the range I was able to do a quick comparison on my Flightscope profile (average carry distances over 10 or 12 shots per club):
Sunday with Driver I was 230y carry & 94mph club speed - Sunday with 3w I was 206y carry & 89mph club speed
Thursday with Driver I was 241 carry & 97mph club speed - Thursday with 3w I 219y carry & 92mph club speed
Irons too showed a big gain in the warmer conditions & my 5 iron carry went up from 150y carry to 166y with a club head speed gain of 7mph
