Thus, if Aoyama’s formula holds true, a 300-yard drive at sea level would result in an additional 26.58 yards at that elevation.“The percent increase will be less for players with slower swing speeds and/or when hitting a shorter shot,” Aoyama adds in the study he conducted for Acushnet. You have to hit it high. Felicitaciones por campo de golf Espectacular. The thinner the air, the smaller the lifting force. Since becoming a World Golf Championship, the event at Doral had certainly lost its mojo—and its sponsorship.
Just 3.06 percent of drives that week were more than 320 yards.Justin Padjen from Trackman has been studying the effects for years. And also getting ready if I was going to play Mexico, it was going to be two weeks of trying to get that ball up because obviously it’s at altitude next week and the ball doesn’t spin a lot.”Because the air is less dense at higher altitudes, hang time takes on greater importance. Thus, at higher elevations the trajectory is less influenced by lift, and thus has a ‘flatter’ shape and a more glancing impact with the ground. “I don’t think they can take too many crazy lines. In the Pro-Am that week, McIlroy hit a 370-yard 3-wood.

What a course. This page shows the elevation/altitude information of Club de Golf Chapultepec, Av. Any golfer will tell you there’s an addictive rush that comes from absolutely nuking a golf ball into the heavens. While most golfers are in great shape, altitude sickness does not discriminate and can affect the fittest of the bunch as easily as anyone else.“I think we will be OK in that regard,” Bubba Watson says. And there are a lot of trees. These will form a good starting point for Mickelson’s game plan and prep in Mexico City.“Phil had success in Denver and all we did while there was to go off previous years in Denver only. What is the highest elevated course you've played? The BMW Championship was held in Cherry Hills outside Denver in 2014. And that presents a significant challenge as professional golfers have become accustomed to the distance control they have over the ball.Steve Aoyama, the principal scientist of Golf Ball R&D at Acushnet -- the makers of Titleist’s popular Pro V1s – has devised a formula for estimating the percentage difference in distances at elevation: Multiple the elevation in feet by 0.00116. And we all know the likes of Dustin Johnson are not average. Club de Golf Chapultepec Elevation will play a big role in this week's WGC-Mexico Championship at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City. Still, Young says the combination of a stern driving test, sneaky green and property tilting that will reward sound play, and the endurance element caused by the elevation (7600 feet) should make for some challenging golf.This year, for the first time since 1961, there is no Doral stop. A lot of pines. While the course is not hilly, which helps, the body will still be making its own adjustments. 2.7K likes. Highlight holes on the modern day layout include the long par four 4th, which plays downhill and doglegs to the left, and the uphill, par five 6th. Consider it a last-minute cram session before a big exam.“You can literally set your brain on fire trying to work it out so I think you will see many guys trying to hit as many shots as they can in practice just to get as much data as they can,” Mackay says. “It will be interesting to see how guys adapt. This tool allows you to look up elevation data by searching address or clicking on a live google map. If you take Chapultepec’s highest elevation (7,835 feet), the increase would be 9.0886 percent. At 5,000 feet elevation, the air density is about 14 percent lower than at sea level, so the lifting force is also about 14 percent less and the hook or slice will curve about 14 percent less. Percy Clifford, who designed literally dozens of Mexican courses during his career, carried out alterations to the layout in 1972 so today’s course bears little resemblance to the one that was originally envisaged by the Smith brothers almost a century ago. With less oxygen in the air fatigue can become a serious concern. Aoyama notes that while hooking and slicing will be reduced in severity, so will the ability to manipulate shots left and right.Writes Aoyama: “A hook or slice is generated when the lifting force pulls a little to the left or right (as a result of the golfer imparting some amount of sidespin to the ball) instead of straight up. For players like Woods and Watson, launching the ball higher and/or increasing loft on the club can tack on spin and carry, leading to longer tee shots with an optimized landing angle that negates rollout. They’ll obviously have to adjust something in the swing to create more loft at impact. But the point here is that the Tour had something that was easy, and it got replaced with something that sounds like work.Note the opener: a driveable par-4, while the last hole is just 388 yards, uphill. And fly.The altitude effect should be a significant factor this week at Club de Golf Chapultepec as the world’s best play in the World Golf Championships–Mexico Championship, which at its highest point is 7,835 feet above sea level.Sure, we’ve seen altitude golf in the past.
