  has any other master noticed a difference in their shot distance ,   I seem to not be able to get the distances I used to get  with the same equipment and balls that I used to,  yardage not location on the particular hole?

  It's hard to give an explanation for that one wizbang. Clubs haven't changed, courses haven't changed, balls haven't changed... Keep playing?

  That's really strange, I wonder what would have caused that. I personally haven't noticed anything over the past few weeks.

  I find those problems a lot on holes like #9 and #11 at Kiawah Island: The Ocean Course and #9, #15, and #18 at Bethpage Black. Typically I play more club on the holes with obstacles in the middle, but in your case I've never seen that drastic of a fluctuation, maybe you just got unlucky?
