This book gives a scientific account of all aspects of the game of
golf and answers the questions which occur to all who play the
game.
The mechanics of the swing and the impact of the club on the ball
are explained. Together these decide the range of the ball - which
is shown to be the most important factor for success.
The aerodynamics of the ball's flight has several surprises,
including the effects of dimples and spin. Understanding these
effects allows a calculation of the ball's flight and explains how
the range depends on the clubhead speed and the characteristics of
the club.
Putting is analyzed to find the optimum strategy and to understand
how winds, slopes, and mud affect the run of the ball.
Handicaps are perhaps the most discussed topic in golf and the
book examines the handicaps system to identify their consequences
in matches and competitions, with results which will surprise many
players.
The famous question - "what is the probability of a hole-in-one?"
is discussed and a neat way of answering it is proposed.
Further chapters examine the players, the equipment, and the
economics of the game, discussing the aspects of play that
determine success, how much the improvements in clubs and balls
have affected performance and the remarkable growth of both the
amateur and the professional game.
