It looks like Nashville is about 600 feet. That is really not much; the difference in pressure will be small, I doubt you would really notice it. Warm, humid air is less dense than cold, dry air so the ball will fly a little further when it is warm and humid; probably hard to tell, wind will have a bigger impact. I have played golf at 5000 feet before and that is definitely noticeable; about 15% lower pressure.
