I know a golf ball will lose distance at sea level versus an inland course. Is there a percentage loss at sea level versus lets say a golf ball hit at a course that is 1000 ft above sea level. Is that 2% 4% 6%? Anyone know the percentage loss?

I was thinking of painting a golf ball for my dad for fathers day because he loves golf and has a shelf to put golf balls on. Does anyone know what kind of paint would work best to put on golf balls?

A golf ball is dropped from a height of 81 inches. It rebounds to 2/3 of its original height and continues rebounding in this manner. How far does it travel before coming to rest?

I put some impact tape on my driver and I consistently hit the golf ball more towards the heel. I shoot in the high 80’s and have taken lessons for this problem. Video tape shows my hands pushing out slightly (towards the direction I’m facing). The results are pull hooks or outright shanks. Obviously lessons aren’t helping.
Any drills or tips would be great!

I know you have to hit balls till your hands bleed but should I concentrate on ball placement or swing tempo or wrist movement or swing arc or body position….maybe the question i should ask is what should i focus on first….i have played golf for years and have found some clubs im comfortable with….id like to hear what has helped other casual golfers improve their game….THANKS!

I play golf and I play regularly. My handicap is 15 but off the tee box I almost always slice the ball almost 30 yards from where I intended. I take nice, smooth swings but I think it’s my setup.

I don’t play very often, so its hard to determine how far I will hit the ball during a round of golf and the distance I hit balls on at the driving range doesn’t seem to be the same as on the course. How can I compare the two?

I saw this once on ESPN in the late 90’s. A player with an over-sized driver would hit a golf ball towards a group of players that each held something that looked like a stop sign. These players would attempt to knock the ball down.

What is the rule if I hit a ball in a flower bed on a golf course. Many times around a green there is an area decorated with flowers and ornamental shrubs. If I hit a ball in that area do I get a free lift. I can not find any rule that specificly explains this.

Can scientist create a satellite technology to guide a golf ball to its target? Is my idea too imaginative?
