Cracked balls=lost distance??

Where I live, I gotta big pasture, so I'll fire my balls out into the field somewhere. Often times, I don't find them, until I mow that is! When they come back, sometimes they are craked, sometimes they aren't..does any body know if a cracked ball will result in distance loss? I notice they whistle, as they fly, so the crack has to be interferring somehow, right?

Ok, I thought so, just wanted to double check! I'm not going to throw them away, I just hit **** balls around my house, and only hit the good balls on the course. No sense hitting good bals, if you can't find em'

Yeah there will be a loss of distance with a cracked golf ball,and it will change the ball flight of the golf ball too.
