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. For example, a golfer teeing off on a par 3 (179yards) with a 10 mile per hour wind behind him may have to use a 7 iron instead of a 5 o

r a 6. This is because the wind could push or carry the ball an additional 10 to 15 yards farther.

The putter is in a class of its own, it can't be hit as far as any of the other clubs but it is the most important club in the bag.

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. In contrary, when the conditions are wet, like after it rains, the ball will stick or not go very far from were it landed. For example, a golfer may have played two rounds of golf on two different days, the first may have been a beautiful sunny day with dry conditions and the other may have been a day after a night of rain, in turn made the conditions of the golf course change dramatically. This dramatic change has altered the way this golfer must play. The first day was worry free because conditions were ideal, but playing the second day the golfers had to anticipate where their ball was
