::At 1 mile altitude the acceleration due to gravity is only about 0.05% less than at sea level, so I don't think it's important relative to the lower air resistance.

:::The difference in gravity due to being 1 mile farther away from the center of the earth is negligible and due to having more mass(aka mountains) under them Denver actually has a slightly higher Local Gravitational Acceleration at 9.81112m/s^2 than say Los Angeles at 9.80636m/s^2.

:This is a fairly commonly recognized phenomenon. Many golf publications reference this. e.g. [https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/b/tourblog/posts/the-effect-of-altitude-golf-ball-aerodynamics Titleist post][[User:OhFFS|OhFFS]] ([[User talk:OhFFS|talk]]) 21:20, 22 May 2019 (UTC) | :This is a fairly commonly recognized phenomenon.

:This is also commonly recognized in baseball. For example, [this paper[http://baseball.physics.illinois.edu/Denver.html] argues that after the spin-induced lift reduction ball will still fly 5% farther in Denver than in Boston due to altitude.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.172|108.162.216.172]] 14:08, 23 May 2019 (UTC) | :This is also commonly recognized in baseball.
