Playing golf above 5,400 feet requires strategic adjustments beyond extra carry distance. The thinner air at Randpark Golf Club (Firethorn) also reduces backspin effectiveness, which means your ball won't hold greens as well on approach shots. Consider landing the ball shorter and letting it release to the pin. Wedge shots will fly higher and come down steeper, but longer clubs will have a flatter trajectory than you might expect at sea level. PinWeather's shot impact advisory factors these altitude effects into every club calculation.
