I have played golf in FL for 60 years. I have also played courses all over the US. My experience is that it takes considerable altitude to affect the ball flight 5000 feet and more. I played in Breakenridge CO and could hit a P/wedge 150 yds. At that time in FL i hit a P/wedge 135 yds. Much shorter now. My experience is that when the temperature gets 90 degrees and higher the ball will go farther on avg 5 yds, struck ultra-pure as much as 10. So, see what your distance is once the temperature gets below the 90, say 85 or less.
