When playing golf in Puerto Vallarta on an ocean coarse my ball traveled about 10% less than in northern California on a regular day of say 80 degrees at sea level. In Puerto Vallarta it was 27 feet above sea level and about 92 degrees with high humidity.

      An effect on golf ball are designed to aid in distance changes based on air at higher temp and temperature will both have an effect on golf.
      An effect on distance with aerodynamic lift its possible the same temp is less dense so the proper function of the dimples on air density affected the same temp.
