Playing Distance Adjustment

Elevation, wind, temperature and altitude adjustments to a flat yardage — a club-selection nudge.

These are published rule-of-thumb constants, not physics — treat the output as a club-selection nudge, not gospel.

The course's height above sea level, not the rise on this hole. Defaults to 0.
