A very crucial point in golf is determining your club distances. In addition to knowing how far you must hit a club, a golfer must also be educated on how to play under different weather conditions. One area that can really make emotions take off is putting. Putting is a part of the game that takes the most concentration because there really is no single correct way to putt. Determining your club distances can be a bit tricky at times because many variables can come into play such as wind, altitude, temperature and excitement level.
Winds depending on their speed can make the ball go long, short, to the left or to the right.
Also the higher the altitude the further you will hit the ball. This is because the wind could push or carry the ball an additional 10 to 15 yards farther. Weather conditions can come into play as well. The sun in particular can make the course conditions very dry and hard. When the landscape of a golf course is dry and hard the ball will have a tendency to bounce and role a significant distance farther than normal.
