The Math of Golf

Solheim Cup 2009

I took up golf late last year and I’m slowly becoming a golf geek. After playing a par3 course first thing in the morning and then watching 4 hours of the Golf Channel to see the US team of women defeat the European women in the Solheim Cup today, I did a little searching through Youtube for golf instructional videos.

One of the gems I stumbled upon is this one from a high school physics project of an amazing golf shot. This is essentially the algebra behind the golf shot. Watch the video through the credits to see outtakes of the golf pro as he tries and tries again to make the shot.

Oh, bad practise there.

Doesn’t he know that 8.7s should be used, not 8.7secs.

Gosh, a stickler for details aren’t we? :-)
