less Excuse!
Hot
Humid Air Won't Slow Your Ball Down
Worried
that humidity hampers ball flight? Think that the ball
has a harder time pushing its way through dense air? If
so, you're all wet. Hot humid air actually is lighter
than cold, dry air. And water vapor is lighter than dry
air, so on a humid day the air is actually less dense,
providing less resistance. That means a golf ball will
fly farther on a humid day - but not enough that you'll notice
a difference. Our conclusion: Don't sweat it.
