The physics of golf Theodore P. Jorgensen
Publisher: Springer

Physics may not have been everyone's favorite class in high school, but if you're a golfer, it's worth taking the extra time to try and understand some basic. "On greens you can see how certain layouts will alter the path of the ball. Squalicum senior girls' golfer Riley Andert didn't own a golf bag, gear, clubs or the aspiration to be a state-tournament golfer when she decided to play the sport four years ago. Write a one-page (or more) discussion of the Physics of Golf. When he's not blogging about golfing, he enjoys swimming, hunting, and vintage cars. That was until I met Mark Sweeney, the founder of Aimpoint Technologies, who just may be at the forefront of a revolution in golf. Just some pals havin a good time on ole course.. The science of golf will be explored at a special lecture at the Edinburgh Science Festival later this month. It's really helpful." Qualifying for state has been a result of Andert's four years of hard work and persistence. Jim is one of our talented writers. A golfer with a beautiful swing or that can hit the ball 300 yards will eventually reach a scoring plateau unless he or she can sink putts consistently. You can paraphrase what you find on the web. Sports Science takes a dive into the physics behind the lip out putts. The Science of the Putt - Did you know that you'll never sink a putt if your ball is moving faster than 3.65 mph? Essentially, Sweeney applies the principles of physics to reading putts. You can find all you need on the web, along with what is covered in the class textbook and notes. "I can kind of take the physics I'm learning in high school into the world of golf," Andert said. The physics of gravity and friction.
