A. If the golf ball starts with a speed of 2.0 m/s and slows at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s squared, what is its velocity after 2.0 s?
B. What is the golf ball’s veloicty if the constant acceleration continues for 6.0 s?
C. Describe the motion of the golf ball in words and with a motion diagram.

a) If the acceleration of the center of mass is -0.5 m/s/s then after 2s the ball decelerated 1m/s and thus the velocity of the center of mass is 1 m/s

b) After 6 seconds, the change in velocity is 3 m/s and thus the speed is -1 m/s which means that the ball now is moving backwards from its original motion.

I’m trying to figure out if the yardage of a golf hole determines its par. Or is it a function of the difficulty?

Hello Clay

There are basic rules for determining par for a single hole.

normally under 250 yards is a par 3

over 250 and less then 450 is a par 4

over 450 is normally a par 5

There are some special cases but these are the norms..

I hope this answers your question .

Leon

When golf is on TV, you see pros walk off steps from a known point, such as a sprinkler head, to their ball. But since their ball, the hole and that known point don’t form a straight line, how do they know the exact distance to the hole?

In my mind, those three points form a triangle, which most likely doesn’t have a right angle, so even Pythagoreus would have difficulty with the math. How do they get it down to a precise number like 171 yards?

The other guys statement is correct, but he didn’t really answer the question. The tour pros do have a great yardage book, in fact most of them use a book specially designed for the course they’re playing, not available to anyone except them. Then they have a pin sheet with the pin location for the entire week and their respective yardages on the green.

However, even armed with all this information, you are correct, the yardages are still not exactly correct.

But you have to remember a golfer has to take many things into account when pulling a club, and this is a golfer at any level of play. For instance, I take these things into account when I pull a club:

1) Lie – rough or fairway? Uphill, Downhill, Sidehill?
2) Wind – Speed and Direction
3) Temperature? Hot or cold?
4) Is the green soft or hard?
5) Do I need to hit the shot around an obstacle?
6) Do I need to curve this shot to get to the pin?

These are just a few of the many things a golfer has to take into account when figuring out which club to hit, it’s not just strictly yardage driven. Although yardage will give you a good baseline target to start your computations.

Remember this, many people consider Ben Hogan the greatest ball striker and iron player of all time……he NEVER used a yardage book. That statement should tell you everything you need to know.

Hope this helps!

Typically on a golf scorecard you’ll see a tiny map of the course showing the general shape of the hole, whether it dog-legs right or left, location of sand traps and water, etc. Are any of these tiny (prefearbly larger) maps available on the Internet? What are these tiny maps called? I’d like to print (or create them) these maps for my favorite courses and then mark all my hits.

Try google earth or use this and you can get a better picture www.local.live.com Just find the course and click birds eye view.

I am wondering how many acres you would need to be able to build a full 18 hole golf course as i am trying to think of ways to utilise my farm at this time.

This year’s open championship is at carnoustie which stretches over 176 acres

I only want 1 hole, just in the backyard. Would felt work? Even when it got wet?

There are several companies, that make, "backyard greens". Several Tour Pro’s have them. Search, Google!

Felt, fades, dries very slowly, wears poorly, and there are much better materials for synthetic greens.

My Company is Sponsoring a hole at an upcoming golf scramble. What Can I do to make sure they remember our service company.

What is a good small logo’d promotional item to give away?… Something original.

How about picture frames (3×5) with your company logo – then have a photog with a digital camera? Take a photo of each foursome and have it in the frame by the time the tourney is over. I have seen that done a number of times. Golfers are the worlds worse about wanting a photo of themselves on the links.

Something else that I have seen done is a money clip. And there is the all time standby of a towel that can be clipped to your golf bag.
