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.
Frank Thomas, former technical director for the USGA, says that for every 10* difference in temperature we gain, or lose, around 2.5 yards of carry.
